1.
- Wire with current to the right: Magnetic field points into the page (⊗).
- Wire with current to the left: Magnetic field points out of the page (⊙).
- Wire with current out of the page (⊙): Magnetic field is counterclockwise around the wire.
- Wire with current into the page (⊗): Magnetic field is clockwise around the wire.
2.
- Coil with current entering top on left and exiting bottom on right: Magnetic field inside coil points to the right.
- Coil with current entering bottom on left and exiting top on right: Magnetic field inside coil points to the left.
- Coil connected to battery with positive terminal on right: Magnetic field inside coil points to the left.
3.
- Wire between N and S poles with current out of page: Force is upward.
- Wire in uniform field to the right with current into page: Force is downward.
- Wire above solenoid with current out of page: Force is to the left.
4.
- Motor with coil between S (left) and N (right) poles, current direction shown: Rotation is clockwise; torque vector points into the page.
- Motor with coil between N (left) and S (right) poles, current direction shown: Rotation is counterclockwise; torque vector points out of the page.
5.
- Loop pulled down between N (left) and S (right) poles: Induced current is clockwise.
- Loop pulled up between N (left) and S (right) poles: Induced current is counterclockwise.
- Magnet pushed into coil (N pole first): Induced current is counterclockwise (as viewed from above).
- Magnet pulled out of coil (S pole last): Induced current is clockwise (as viewed from above).
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of physics worksheet right hand rule.
