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 …
Why does earth spin counter-clockwise? - Physics Stack Exchange
Jul 24, 2015 · But there is a clear reason why it is clockwise: Earth's spin cuases an apparent motion of the sun during the day, which causes shadows to turn around objects. This was …
How does Earth rotate on its axis, clockwise or anti-clockwise?
This is essentially a meaningless question unless you specify a system with respect to which you define both clockwise and anti-clockwise. If you don't do this, then there really is no way to …
Do electrons in an atom always have the same 'direction'?
Feb 9, 2016 · Calling one clockwise and the other anticlockwise doesn't quite get the difference across. But the angular momentum is genuine. Check out the Einstein-de Haas effect, which …
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 …
Difference in winding a coil clockwise vs counter clockwise
Nov 1, 2020 · 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 …
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 …
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, …
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 …
Why and how does the 'clock rule' of electromagnetism (i.e.
Why and how does the 'clock rule' of electromagnetism (i.e. current flows clockwise as seen from the south pole of an electromagnet) work? [duplicate] Ask Question Asked 9 years, 10 months …
