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 and how does the 'clock rule' of electromagnetism (i.e.
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 …
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 …
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, …
Why is induced electric current moving clockwise/counterclockwise?
Jun 28, 2022 · Hence for north pole approaching or a south pole moving away, the current runs counter-clockwise. When the north pole is moving further away or the south pole is moving …
The physics behind ceiling fans' rotation sense
Oct 29, 2024 · Most ceiling fans (especially in hot climates) rotates in an anticlockwise (or 'counterclockwise' if you're American) sense. We all know this. I tried to search the web for a …
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 …
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 …
Coriolis effect and Cyclones - Physics Stack Exchange
Jun 28, 2023 · The Coriolis force predicts that winds in the northern hemisphere should be deflected in a clockwise pattern and winds in the southern hemisphere should be deflected in …
electromagnetism - Why does a magnetic field go anticlockwise of …
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 …
