How to Ace Electromagnetism Questions on Your Exam

Are you consistently losing points on Electromagnetism because of forgetting the right-hand rule applies to positive charges? If so, you're making the exact same error as 80% of your class.

Your Timeline

• Minute 1: Identify the variables. Don't start solving.
• Minute 2: Check for edge cases. Are you about to commit the sin of forgetting the right-hand rule applies to positive charges?
• Minute 3-5: Execute. Keep this application in mind: If an electron moves through a magnetic field, you must use your right hand to find the force, and then FLIP the direction because it's a negative charge.

Stick to the timeline. Methodical execution beats panicked guessing every single time.
