Right Hand Rule Study Sheet
Right Hand Rule #1
A magnetic field is produced by a straight wire
conductor carrying a current.
This Right Hand Rule for a straight, currentcarrying wire shows the direction of the magnetic
field.
Right Hand Rule #2
A solenoid creates a magnetic field down its
center. If a piece of iron is slipped into the
solenoid it becomes a stronger electromagnet.
This Right Hand Rule can be used to determine
the polarity of an electromagnet.
Right Hand Rule #3
A current-carrying wire experiences
forces when placed in a magnetic Field.
This Right Hand Rule can be used to
determine the direction of force when
the current and magnetic field direction
are known.
Right Hand Rule #4
If a wire is moved through a magnetic
field it can induce an electric current
because the magnetic field exerts a
force on the charges in the wire.
This Right Hand Rule can be used to
determine the direction of the force
on the charge (induced current) if the
direction the wire is moving and the
magnetic field are known.
