I probably shouldn't be doing this but **** it. If you are in need of physics notes or content statements etc. you can use our school's abernet moodle site:

http://www.abernet.org.uk/Moodle/login/index.php

Log in using,

Username: abstraction98
password: seek0seek [different to my tsr one don't worry]

Try to logout after you're done as I'm not sure it allows more than one instance of the same user on at once. Enjoy, :smile:

DISCLAIMER: A few weeks ago apparently someone hacked the site and it was trying to install viruses. Despite this, I have been on it all day and everythings fine.

Explain please! In the right hand rule, is force the first finger or thumb? I understand if it the first finger but i seem to have it as the thumb in my notes =s

6d ii aswell?!

It's the thumb.
Remember by THumb (THrust/force), First finger (Field), seCond finger (Current).
Alternatively remember by FBI: F(Force), B(Magnetic field), I(Current) on your thumb, first and second fingers.

For 6dii visualise using the grip rules.

Thumb - Force
First finger - Magnetic field (North to South)
Middle finger - Current

Left hand positive, right hand negative

Around the wire is a circular field. If you think about it, at equal distances from the wire there will be equal induction so you get a circular/cylindrical shape. Use the right hand with thumb in direction of current.

Blatent case of silly '**** how do we make it possible to remember this'

"
1) Well theres TH in thumb - oh yeh so thrust so force, great

2) First finger - dam thats difficult err two f's sooooooooo field, thats sort of magnetic yeh"

3) Dam, this ones even harder, errrr......well...it has a c so errr...current.

That's why I prefer FBI myself :p:

much less ambiguous

If you are going to remember the letters and how they correspond, why not just remember it straight off? :p:

Silly crap works for some people, in SG for chemistry I learnt methane, ethane, pentane... etc with "many enigmatic possums breathe pure hydrogen" :p:

Of course it didn't take long just to know them, but I still remember it!

I can just remember stuff like that. Although I get stuck when I get to 11 (in chemistry terms that is).

Propane comes before pentane, your mnemonic fail :p:

I'm far better with memory now, It's cool when someone asks "what's the mass of the earth" or something like that and you can just reel it off :cool:

Thank god chemistry is ages away :p:

Methane, Ethane, Propane :redface:

I use the FBI myself - The other one was the one I was told but it was rubbish...FBI makes more sense to me!

And you get reputation on this site! Brilliant haha.

FBI sounds much better than the way we were taught:

Forefinger = Field
sEcond finger = Electron flow
thumb = force (because it's big)

I will definitely use FBI.
Now it's just the rest of the course...
