A wire is placed inside a magnetic field. When a battery is connected to the wire, current flows thru the wire, causing the wire to jump.

The direction the wire jumps is what part of the RHR?
1. Fingers
2. Thumb
3. Palm
A wire is placed inside a magnetic field. When a battery is connected to the wire, current flows thru the wire, causing the wire to jump.

The direction the current flows in the wire is what part of the RHR?
1. Fingers
2. Thumb
3. Palm
A wire is pushed into a magnetic field, which causes an induced current in the wire.

The direction the wire is pushed is what part of the RHR?
1. Fingers
2. Thumb
3. Palm
A wire is pushed into a magnetic field, which causes an induced current in the wire.

The direction of the induced current is what part of the RHR?
1. Fingers
2. Thumb
3. Palm
An induced current is due to what?
1. An external power supply.
2. A magnetic field moving charges in a wire.
