Final answer:

In the left hand rule, the thumb represents the direction of the force or motion, the first finger represents the magnetic field, and the second finger represents the current or charge. In the right hand rule, the thumb represents the current or charge, the first finger represents the magnetic field, and the second finger represents the force or motion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The left and right hand rules are used in physics to determine the direction of a magnetic field or the force on a moving charge in a magnetic field.

In the left hand rule, the thumb represents the direction of the force or motion, the first finger represents the magnetic field, and the second finger represents the current or charge.

In the right hand rule, the thumb represents the current or charge, the first finger represents the magnetic field, and the second finger represents the force or motion.
