[edit] Problem

The picture is not obvious enough. The middle finger is bent inward and the other two are straight. Of course with a little deduction (or induction) one can figure it out, but does the common person do that? NO. how confusing @_@

[edit] Huh?

I know the right hand rule for resulting motion from a preexisting current and field, with the same hand configuration, except the Index finger represents I (current), the Birdie finger represents B (field), and the Thumb represent THRUST (force). It gives the opposite result of what is stated. I understand this is a generator hfghjlgfkjhflkghjlfkgjhlfjhlghjflgkhjioutrtit\\


rule]]. I added the mnemonic you listed above (that's the same one I learned, though using the palm instead of the middle finger) as an alternate at Fleming's left hand rule, since that seemed to be the best place for it, since the motor/generator distinction seemed more important than the right hand/left hand distinction. I also found some other images on the various Wiki projects, so I added them. But these pages still need a lot of work, and I'd encourage anyone with subject matter expertise to be bold and help reorganize them. --Arcadian 12:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


Can someone add in about faraday's Law which finger is the magnetic field/current/force?
