Determine the direction of the magnetic field above point a and below point b.
00:06
So here's our wire, points a and point b.
00:10
We use our right hand rule.
00:13
Our magnetic field is going to be pointing out of the plane and this is going to be pointing into the plane.
00:19
So this is out and this is into the plane.
00:23
So what we do is we use our right hand rule that points our fingers in the direction of the current or put the thumb on the conductor and curl your fingers around it, then the thumb points in the direction of our current.
00:40
So for one, for a, we have it into the page, and for b, it's going to be out of the page.
00:48
For question two, which right -hand rule do we use? we use the right -hand rule, and when we have our thumb of our right -hand in the direction of our current, and then curling the fingers, we find the direction of the magnetic field.
01:07
Okay, so now for three, an electron is moving up the page.
01:13
What's the direction of the force in this moment? our direction of our current is opposite to the direction of our movement.
01:22
So our current, in this case, is downwards, and our magnetic field is pointing to the left.
01:28
So our force is going to be pointing into the plane...
