Right Hand Rules #1 & 2

Right-hand rule #1 (conductors)
     Thumb of right hand points in direction of conventional current flow, fingers point in direction of circular    magnetic field around conductor.




Right-hand rule #2 (coil)
     Curled fingers of right hand point in direction of conventional current flow, thumb points in direction of magnetic field around conductor.



Watch an MIT lecture on this topic of magnetism and right-hand rules:
