The right hand rule #2 is used for coils.
It is used to determine the direction of magnetic field around a current-carrying wire and the conventional current flow.
When the coil is held with the right hand, the curved fingers point in the direction of conventional [positive (+)] current flow.
The thumb points in the direction of the magnetic field. The thumb also represents the north end of the electromagnet produced by the coil.
