WebJan 3, 2001 · The right hand rule can be used to determine the direction of the vector resulting from any application of the cross product: . To use the magnetic portion of the Lorentz Force equation as an example: . F=q(U ⊗ B) . Then, positioning your hand as described above by Withnail, your thumb points in the direction of U, your index finger … WebThe correct application for the right-hand rule (the way I learned it) is: First vector = thumb; second vector = index finger; third vector (i.e result) = middle finger. And of course it involves the correct gesture of the hand: thumb and index finger fully stretched off, … st.right
Confused on how to properly use right hand rule
WebThe rule: To check the direction of A × B (where A, B are vectors), you point your pointer-finger along A, then your middle-finger along B (which may require you to twist your hand); your middle-finger should be orthogonal to your pointer-finger and so your palm will face the same direction as the middle-finger. WebMay 19, 2024 · The right-hand rule says that from this perspective, if a is to the right of b then the z-component of a x b will be positive, since your thumb will point up, and if a is to the left of b then the z-component of a x b will be negative, since your thumb will point down. Note that the left-right orientation of a p and b p is the same as the left ... WebAug 8, 2024 · Form : 1) A.B=0 , A.C=0. Conditions are met. Now , to check if B x C is parallel to A vector.
