Left Hand Rule for a Straight Conductor

[29 clicks]

I was wondering if someone could give me a link to a site that will discuss the left hand and right hand rule for a straight conductor and a helix.

Right-Hand Rules have become the de-facto standard.
We pretend that positive charge flows in the direction of the Indicated Current I . Thumb points along this Indicated Current, fingers wrap around the wire (as if to grasp the wire) as the Magnetic Field encircles the Current.

Do this for each part of the loops in a helix (bottom and top ; right and left)
at the center of the helix (on axis),
only the axial component of the magnetic field contributions add up.
The opposite magnetic field is outside the helix, very weak because it is spread out over a cross-section area with radius almost as big as L .

Sure, I can provide some information about the left hand and right hand rule for a straight conductor and a helix. These rules are commonly used in electromagnetism to determine the direction of a magnetic field or current in relation to a moving charged particle.

The left hand rule for a straight conductor, also known as the Fleming's left hand rule, states that if you point your left thumb in the direction of the current flow in a straight conductor, then your fingers will curl in the direction of the magnetic field around the conductor.

In contrast, the right hand rule for a straight conductor, also known as the right hand grip rule, states that if you wrap your right hand around the conductor with your fingers in the direction of the current flow, then your thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic field.

These rules are useful for understanding the relationship between a current-carrying conductor and a magnetic field. For example, if you have a wire carrying a current and you want to know the direction of the magnetic field it produces, you can use the left hand rule to determine this.

Similarly, the left and right hand rules can also be applied to a helix, which is a coiled conductor. In this case, the direction of the magnetic field will be determined by the direction of the current flow in the helix, and the left and right hand rules can be used to determine this.

For more information about the left and right hand rules for a straight conductor and a helix, you can refer to this website: https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/electromagnetism/right-hand-rule.html. This site provides a detailed explanation of these rules and also includes diagrams to help visualize the concepts. I hope this helps!
