Right Hand Screw Rule : The right hand screw rule can be used when a direction must be determined, based upon rotational direction or vice-versa.
The axis of the screw is placed as shown in the figure. When the screw is moved by a small angle in the direction from \(\vec A\) to \(\vec B\), then the direction in which the screw moves forward gives the direction of the resultant vector.
