Reference resources (encyclopedias, etc.) discuss right hand rules but they do not discuss left hand rules. In discussing magnetic fields I'm told that the fields move. Please tell me what kinds of fields rotate clockwise and what kinds of fields rotate counterclockwise. But don't just tell me those bare facts. Tell me WHY some kinds of fields rotate clockwise and others rotate counterclockwise relative to the flow of electrons in a conductor. What forces determine field directionality and whether or not motions are clockwise or counterclockwise?
Re: What causes clockwise or counterclockwise magnetic fields?
