Question

What is the difference between the right-hand rule for the magnetic force and the right-hand rule for the B? field?

Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences.

PART A

Right-hand rule for the _________________ tells us how to determine the direction of the ___________________ exerted on a current-carrying wire placed in the external magnetic field (we do not need to know the source of this field to use the rule). On the other hand, the right-hand rule for the ________________ tells us how to determine the direction of the _________________ lines and ______________ vectors of the magnetic field created by a known source - a straight wire, a loop, or a solenoid.

Words to choose from: magnetic force, B field

Explanation / Answer

B field

PART A

Right-hand rule for the __magnetic force_______________ tells us how to determine the direction of the ___magnetic force________________ exerted on a current-carrying wire placed in the external magnetic field (we do not need to know the source of this field to use the rule). On the other hand, the right-hand rule for the ___ B field_____________ tells us how to determine the direction of the ___ B field______________ lines and ____magnetic force___________ vectors of the magnetic field created by a known source - a straight wire, a loop, or a solenoid.
