RHR 1 and 2

During class we learned about the 2 right hand rules. Right Hand Rule 1 and Right Hand Rule 2

Right Hand Rule 1 states that:
in a conductor when the thumb of the right hand points the direction of the current flow, the fingers will curl in the direction of the magnetic field.

Right Hand Rule 2 states that:
in a coil, when the thumb points to the north of the coil, the fingers curl towards to the current flow
