Use flemings left hand rule to remember the direction of motion in an electric motor. Most of the various left and righthand rules arise from the fact that the three axes of 3dimensional space have two possible orientations. Maxwells screw rule decides the direction of the magnetic field around a current carrying conductor. The biotsavart law is an equation that describes the magnetic field created by a currentcarrying wire and allows you to calculate its strength at various points.

A simple animation that traces the motion of a point on a rolling disc. Amperes right hand screw rule also called righthand grip rule, coffeemug rule, or the corkscrewrule is used either when a vector such as the euler vector must be defined to represent the rotation of a body, a magnetic field or a fluid, or vice versa, when it is necessary to define a rotation vector to understand how.
