- Moving charges make fields which can then exert forces on other moving charges
- Use your right hand: thumb in current ( or ), fingers in
- For the direction of a magnetic field, fingers curl in direction of
- is another universal constant like , , , and
- For the force, palm “pushes” in the direction of
- or
