Electromagnetism and right hand rules

Front

What does B represent in the right-hand-slap rule?

Back

B represents the magnetic field.

Front

What is generated by moving magnetic fields?

Back

Moving magnetic fields generate an electric current.

Front

If the force is coming towards you and the current is travelling downwards, what is the direction of the magnetic fields using the right-hand slap rule?

Back

The magnetic fields are going to the right.

Front

In the right-hand grip rule, what does B represent?

Back

B represents the direction of the magnetic field.

Front

If the force is going away from you and the magnetic fields are going to the left, what is the direction of the current using the right-hand slap rule?

Back

The current is going downwards.

Front

What is the right-hand slap rule used for?

Back

The right-hand slap rule is used to determine the direction of the magnetic field, current, and force in electromagnetism.

Front

What does the right-hand grip rule help to visualize?

Back

The right-hand grip rule helps to visualize the relationship between the direction of current and the magnetic field around a conductor.

Front

What is the relationship between electric current and magnetic fields?

Back

Electric current generates a magnetic field around the conductor.

Front

How can you determine the direction of the force on a charged particle in a magnetic field?

Back

Use the right-hand rule: point your thumb in the direction of the current, your fingers in the direction of the magnetic field, and your palm will face the direction of the force.

Front

What happens to the magnetic field when the current in a wire increases?

Back

The strength of the magnetic field increases.
