A pocket camera video for a song I wrote a while back. It has little or nothing to do with the behavior of electric motors in the realm of electrical engineering, but Fleming's Left Hand Rule was on my mind when I wrote the song, and a song needs a name.
Shot almost entirely in and around my friend Lindy's car.
How come with situations regarding Fleming's left hand rule, the magnetic field lines are always straight instead of curved? The way I see it is; they should be curved. Unless they take the tangent to the curved line as being the direction of the magnetic field. And even if they did this, because a current-carrying conductor may be so long, the direction of the force on the conductor would be different to the direction of the force on the other side of it? I do NOT understand!
