Homework: Magnetism-Worksheet #1

Today in class we learned about The Right Hand rule, it tells the direction of the magnetic field around a conductor that is caring a current. The thumb pointing upwards tells the direction of the current, and the fingers which curl around tell the direction of the magnetic field. We also learned about solenoids which is wire wrapped around something often metal. Solenoids produce a magnetic field when an electrical current flows though them. Yes the Type-R does has solenoids.
