A graphic illustration of a right hand gently grasping a large arrow pointed diagonally upward. The thumb is up pointing in the same direction as the arrow. A smaller arrow underneath the hand indicates the direction to wrap the fingers around the large arrow. The title of the image is File:Right hand rule simple.png
me when I'm trying to remember the rotation of magnetic waves created by a current in a wire
Last time I checked a moving charge created a magnetic field, not a wave. And you determine the curl, not the rotation. You didn't remember
me when I'm trying not to let some nerd get under my skin because I struggled greatly with electromagnetics
Those curved sin waves...
If you know what I mean 😉
🥴🥴🥴
I don't get it, GlizzyGuzzler, is something strange about this image? Should I get off on this post?
You don’t remember the ol’ twist n’ yank method from your EE days??
the only twisting and yanking I did was pulling the wires out of my breadboard when I was done with it!
You’re missing out, it gets hot and heavy under the optics bench after lab hours
I suppose they would turn the air conditioning off when everyone leaves...
I once used my left hand for the right hand rule because i was writing with my right hand during a physics test
Needless to say, i got the wrong sign
You may use the left hand, if you use the technical direction of current from '+' to '-'.
It is funny that this gestures are taught as some kind of mnemonics, but then some for some other application another mnemonic with the opposite hand and same gesture is introduced and I don't ever remember which hand was associated with what anymore. So I remember something about hands that doesn't get me anywhere.
I believe 3D graphics uses both to describe different coordinate systems (some are left handed and some are right)
Don't even get started with y-up vs z-up
why even use the right hand rule when you can just take a random guess and be right half of the time
I have to admit that title is really clever
The ol' twist and yank method
Who would ever use this?
Atomic spin and chemical bonds have entered the chat
Or angular momentum.
Sudden HHGttG vibes
Haha, a reference to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy!
...torsion.
No thanks. I prefer the 3 variable left hand rule.
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
