What does "clockwise" mean, exactly? - Physics Stack Exchange
The answer too makes explicit reference to the right hand rule to define clockwise. One answer to Applying the right-hand rule for magnetic forces explicitly uses the right hand rule, and …
Direction of magnetic field in a solenoid - Physics Stack Exchange
The north and south pole of a solenoid depends on two factors. One, the direction of the current flow and two, the direction of the winding (clockwise or counter-clockwise). Start by determine …
How to determine the direction of moments (confusion)?
Mar 2, 2021 · As with most quantities involved with rotation, the vector representing moment (or torque) is defined as being along the axis of rotation. (The axis is usually the one direction …
The physics behind ceiling fans' rotation sense
Oct 29, 2024 · Most ceiling fans (especially in hot climates) rotates in an anticlockwise (or 'counterclockwise' if you're American) sense. We all know this. I tried to search the web for a …
Direction of Current, according to Lenz's law, from induced EMF
The Arm PQ is moved to the left side thus decreasing the area of the rectangular loop. This results in a decrease in magnetic flux in the Downward (inside the page) direction. Hence, …
Why and how does the 'clock rule' of electromagnetism (i.e.
Why and how does the 'clock rule' of electromagnetism (i.e. current flows clockwise as seen from the south pole of an electromagnet) work? [duplicate] Ask Question Asked 9 years, 10 months …
Do electrons in an atom always have the same 'direction'?
Feb 9, 2016 · Calling one clockwise and the other anticlockwise doesn't quite get the difference across. But the angular momentum is genuine. Check out the Einstein-de Haas effect, which …
How to determine the direction of induced current flow?
Aug 10, 2015 · It is "clockwise" when you look at your hand thumb-on, or when you look at the change pointing towards you. This means that if a current follows that curling, it goes to a …
What happens if a wind mill rotates in opposite direction?
Suppose if a windmill is made torotate in clockwise direction and due to air flow if it rotates in anti clockwise direction then does it produce electricity?
electromagnetism - Why does a magnetic field go anticlockwise of …
Jan 23, 2015 · The magnetic field doesn't go anywhere. We conventionally draw field lines going from North to South, but that's just a convention. So the choice of clockwise vs anticlockwise is …
