Magnetic Effect of Current

Oersted's compass experiment showed that current creates a magnetic field whose circular direction follows the right-hand thumb rule.

Magnetic Force and Fleming's Left-Hand Rule

A current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field experiences force F=ILB; the left-hand rule gives direction, while parallel currents attract or repel by direction.

Electromagnetism and Electric Motors

Electricity and magnetism form electromagnetism, and a motor uses force on a current-carrying coil to convert electrical energy into mechanical motion.

Electromagnetic Induction and Direction

Changing magnetic flux produces induced emf; Lenz's law and Fleming's right-hand rule determine the induced current's direction.

Electric Generators

An AC generator rotates an armature between magnetic poles so changing flux induces a current that reverses each half rotation.
