Magnetic Force Direction: Right-Hand Rule

The video tutorial explains how an electric charge experiences a magnetic force when moving through a magnetic field. It introduces the right hand rule as a tool to determine the direction of the magnetic force. The tutorial provides examples with both positive and negative charges, emphasizing the importance of using the right hand rule correctly. It concludes by summarizing the key points and reinforcing the concept that the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the plane created by the velocity and magnetic field.
