The video tutorial explains the curl right hand rule, which is used to determine the direction of a magnetic field induced by a moving electric current. It covers how the rule applies to both straight and circular currents, and demonstrates examples of using the rule to find magnetic field directions. The tutorial also discusses the reverse application of the rule, where a magnetic field induces a current, and highlights the challenges of representing circular magnetic fields on a 2D surface. Finally, a complex example involving a coil is presented to illustrate the concept further.
