what is first second third fourth right hand rule

anonymous · Answer

i am not sure exactly... so i am confused!

anonymous · Answer

i am not very familiar

rvc · Answer

im hearing this for first time :)

michele_laino · Answer

Usually I use the left hand rule, since the requested direction is given by the vector product between speed and magnetic field

anonymous · Answer

ohh okay.. do you know what this would be?

rvc · Answer

yep i prefer LHR

michele_laino · Answer

sincerely I don't know that answer, since I use the vector calculus
