  • Abstract
    The introduction of students to magnetic fields and to electromagnetic-mechanical reactions should be concurrent with the arbitrary definitions of co-ordinates for the directed physical quantities. This conserves the time and energy of the instructor and students alike. The single new rule described supersedes both of Fleming´s hand rules (dated 1885). It substantially reduces errors in applications, for students need remember only which is their right hand!
