Fleming's right-hand rule

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of something called magnets? They can stick to your fridge and hold up pictures, right? Well, when electric current flows through a wire, it also creates a magnetic field like a magnet.

Fleming's right-hand rule helps us understand which direction that magnetic field is pointing in. It's like a little game where you use your right hand to figure out the answer.

First, you need to put your thumb, middle finger, and index finger together so they are all at right angles to each other.

Next, use your index finger to point in the direction of the electric current flowing through the wire.

Then, point your middle finger in the direction of the magnetic field created by that electric current.

Finally, your thumb will be pointing in the direction that the wire will move due to the magnetic field.

This rule helps us understand how electric current, magnetic fields, and motion are all related to each other. Pretty cool, huh?
