- 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 explains that it is useful because the direction is " counter-clockwise or clockwise depending on what side of the plane you are looking at "
- Why is a clockwise moment negative by convention?
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 this convention
- Difference in winding a coil clockwise vs counter clockwise
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 configuration
- Why does earth spin counter-clockwise? - Physics Stack Exchange
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 used to construct sundials to measure the time, and so the shadow's motion defined what we call clockwise, as the direction was transferred to later mechanical clocks
- Why is induced electric current moving clockwise counterclockwise?
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 closer, the opposite is true: the change in flux is negative, thus the line integral of the electric field is positive By the same logic as above, the current then runs clockwise
- 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 answer: when seen from above the North pole, the Earth rotates in a counter-clockwise direction, whereas when seen from above the South pole, it rotates
- Why and how does the clock rule of electromagnetism (i. e. current . . .
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, 4 months ago Modified 8 years, 10 months ago
- 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 the positive pole of the power source (e g: battery), then the end of the solenoid that you are going to connect to it Now, looking down the solenoid tube determine what direction is the winding If
