By what rule is the direction of Ampere’s force determined?
August 29, 2020 | Education
| The Ampere force F is perpendicular to the direction of the current / and the magnetic induction vector B. To determine the direction of the Ampere force, the left hand rule is used. If you position your left hand so that four outstretched fingers indicate the direction of the current in the conductor, and the lines of magnetic induction enter the palm, then the thumb bent (in the plane of the palm) 90 will show the direction of the Ampere force acting on the conductor.
