Understanding Vectors: A Physics Primer

[bhatnv]

So my physics teacher told us about this recently but i didnt quite understand, perhaps you guys can help me on this. i understand it has to do with vectors but i don't get how it works really.

Are you referring to the Right Hand Rule for induced current?

 

[vlado_skopsko]

That helps when you have vector product and you like to find the direction of the resultant vector.
