Okay, but then current would still be choosing one path over the other, why does it move in one direction particularly? The magnetic field is symmetrical lengthwise so it seems that current would not travel in either direction because the forces causing it to move would cancel out due to the...
I know that the right hand rule applies for induced currents, and the left hand rule is for motors, but why? It doesn't seem to connect with any other physics laws and is very counter-intuitive that the current will flow in one direction rather than the opposite direction if both are...
