Talk:Right hand grip rule

Both this page and Right-hand rule say they're "related, yet different", but not how so. In my opinion, the RHGR is just an instance of the RHR, and that should be made clear. But maybe someone had a different view of the RHGR, as it's described as "a physics principle" (which doesn't fit the "rule" part). Would be nice if someone cleared this up. 134.130.4.46 02:07, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The part that says the fingers point in the direction of the magnetic field from north to south doesn't make sense, because in the magnetic field as described there is no north and south. Those terms only make sense in the context of a magnetic dipole, which isn't this situation. It should say they point in the direction of the magnetic field lines that is defined to be positive.
