	Right Hand Rule
		If the thumb, index finger and middle finger of the right hand are held so that they form three right angles, then the thumb indicates the X-axis, the index finger the Y-axis and the middle finger the Z-Axis.
		Right handed cartesian coordinate systems are the standard coordinate systems for most applications and are used in most current CAD systems internally.
		The rule is derived from the mathematical rule to determine the forward direction of helixes (screws).

		Using the right hand rule for the magnetic field due to a current carrying wire, we find that the current must be flowing from left to right in the resistor so that it produces a field in the correct direction inside the coil.
		From the right hand rule, the direction of the magnetic field due to either wire is into the page in the region to the right of wire 2.

	Right-hand Rules (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		When using the Right-Hand Rules, it is important to remember that the rules assume charges move in a conventional current (the hypthetical flow of positive charges).
		In order to apply either Right-Hand Rule to a moving negative charge, the velocity (v) of that charge must be reversed--to represent the analogous conventional current.
		Because the force exerted on a moving charge by a magnetic field is perpendicular to both the the velocity of the charge and the direction of the field, making illustrations of these interactions involves using the two symbols on the left to denote movement into or out of the plane of the page.

	Editing Rules
		The rule morphism is indicated in the editor by showing identic numbers for each graph object on the left-hand side and its image on the right-hand side of the rule.
		Now, having two identic rule sides, the graph objects that are to be deleted by the rule, have to be deleted in the right-hand rule side, and graph objects that are to be created by the rule have to be drawn there additionally.
		In this mode, the rule morphism can be defined elementwise by clicking on a graph object in the left-hand rule side first, and then clicking on a graph object of the same type in the right-hand rule side.

		Here we are assuming that the force, F, and moment arm, r vectors were originally placed 'head-to-head' (that is, F was pointing to the arrowhead of r, not at its pivot point).
		This is due to the definition of the moment arm, which is the distance between the pivot point and the point where the force acts.

		The cross-product is the usual way of formalizing the "right hand rule" in 3-space.
		However, there's another way to compute the "right-hand rule" besides using the the cross-product, which is essentially the same.
		There is one axis which is perpendicular to both right and front, and so there are only two possible choices for our unit up vector, which are reflections of one another.

		The right hand rule is a mnemonic for memorizing the orientation of fields, forces, or other vector quantities after the cross product of two vector quantities is taken.
		For example, the direction of the magnetic field around a conductor due to a current can be determined by pointing the right thumb in the direction of the current and curling the other four fingers as if grasping the conductor.

	Right hand grip rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The right hand rule is a physics principle applied to electricity passing through a solenoid, resulting in a magnetic field.
		When you wrap your right hand around the solenoid with your fingers in the direction of the current, your thumb points in the direction of the magnetic north pole.
		It can also be applied to electricity passing through a straight wire, the thumb points in the direction of the current, and the fingers in the direction of the magnetic field.
