What are the missing entries in the table for the right hand rule?

In summary, the table shows the relationships between directions of three vector quantities: charge, velocity, and B-field. One entry is missing from each column and needs to be completed. The relevant equation for this problem is F=q(vXB). Possible missing entries are: +x for the Velocity column, -y for the B-field column, and +x for the Force column.

I think you should redraw your table, since it means nothing as it is!
 
  • #3
the relevant equation is F=q(vXB)

so what do u think?
 

Related to What are the missing entries in the table for the right hand rule?

1. What is the basic right hand rule?

The basic right hand rule is a fundamental concept in electromagnetism that helps to determine the direction of a magnetic field or current in relation to a moving charge or current-carrying wire.

2. How does the basic right hand rule work?

To use the basic right hand rule, you simply point your right hand in the direction of the moving charge or current, with your thumb pointing in the direction of the charge or current. Your fingers will then curl in the direction of the magnetic field or current.

3. When is the basic right hand rule used?

The basic right hand rule is used in various applications, such as in determining the direction of a magnetic field in a solenoid, the direction of current flow in a wire, and the direction of force on a charged particle in a magnetic field.

4. Is the basic right hand rule always accurate?

While the basic right hand rule is a useful tool, it is not always accurate. In some situations, such as when dealing with complex magnetic fields, other rules or equations may need to be used to determine the direction of the field or current.

5. Can the basic right hand rule be applied to left-handed individuals?

Yes, the basic right hand rule can be applied to left-handed individuals as well. The only difference is that instead of using your right hand, you would use your left hand and your thumb would point in the opposite direction of the charge or current.
