What does "clockwise" mean, exactly? - Physics Stack Exchange
The answer too makes explicit reference to the right hand rule to define clockwise. One answer to Applying the right-hand rule for magnetic forces explicitly uses the right hand rule, and explains that it …
Why and how does the 'clock rule' of electromagnetism (i.e. current ...
Can anybody explain why the 'clock rule' has been designed the way it is? I mean, why is it that the polarity is North pole, if current flows in the anticlockwise sense as viewed from above and vice-
Why is a clockwise moment negative by convention?
Aug 12, 2016 · My physics book states that by convention a clockwise moment is said to be negative and an anti-clockwise moment is said to be positive. I'm curious about the origin of this convention.
Direction of Current, according to Lenz's law, from induced EMF
The Arm PQ is moved to the left side thus decreasing the area of the rectangular loop. This results in a decrease in magnetic flux in the Downward (inside the page) direction. Hence, according to lenz's …
electromagnetism - Why does a magnetic field go anticlockwise of the ...
Jan 23, 2015 · The magnetic field doesn't go anywhere. We conventionally draw field lines going from North to South, but that's just a convention. So the choice of clockwise vs anticlockwise is just a …
Direction of magnetic field in a solenoid - Physics Stack Exchange
The north and south pole of a solenoid depends on two factors. One, the direction of the current flow and two, the direction of the winding (clockwise or counter-clockwise). Start by determine the positive …
Difference in winding a coil clockwise vs counter clockwise
Nov 1, 2020 · 1 I was watching a YouTube video on the difference of winding a coil clockwise vs winding a coil counter clockwise. It said the poles would be opposite using the same battery configuration. …
When are torques positive or negative? - Physics Stack Exchange
Apr 19, 2018 · hi, i'm having a little trouble with this problem. the correct answer is D, but i got B because i'm confused about the signs of T2 and T1. it makes sense to me that T2 is positive in the …
What does it mean for a galaxy to rotate clockwise?
Mar 16, 2025 · 6 There was a recent news article that said nearly one-third of the galaxies in a survey rotated anticlockwise, and over two-thirds showed clockwise movement. What does that mean …
How to determine the direction of induced current flow?
Aug 10, 2015 · It is "clockwise" when you look at your hand thumb-on, or when you look at the change pointing towards you. This means that if a current follows that curling, it goes to a higher voltage; or if …
