It's easier to think of left hand for the force on electronsright hand for conventional current. I can't actually remember what is supposed to be used for "generators" and "motors"

I have an idea!Celebrities teach physics! but by accident... maybe we can show the 2 slits experiment by firing a politician at 2 narrow slits at an appreciable fraction of the speed of light

i hada physics teacher who could form his hand for the right hand rule but not the left. He had to use his other hand to put his fingers in position. There was nothing wrong with his hand, he was just really mal-coordinated. We mocked him for it.

he was the worst practical physist ever...managed to break not one but three of those vacuum flasks with the anode and cathode in so can show a circle of luminous electrons (can't remember the experiment name now, or why we did it).
he did it by mis-reading the voltage levels and putting the decimal point in the wrong place.... there was a nice arc and not much afterwards.....

I'm hungover and feeling particularly pedanticsorry for being an arse.
for some reason best known to the Board of Studies, aussie kids don't learn the fleming hand shape
The idea is they point their fingers for the field, thumb for current and then take a guess as to whether the force comes out the back of their hand or the palm.
so fucking confusing. especially to teach :(

ActuallyLasers run at negative Kelvin, but it is a bit of a mathematical anomaly because the concept of temperature is all about the population of quantum states. Negative kelvin is more "hotter than infinity" than "colder than zero".
