 Before anything, you should start with a picture of your situation. We'll draw this in the first column of the table. For our example, we'll have a bar magnet that is moving away from a set of coils. In the picture, we have marked the coils, the orientation of the magnet (which side is north/south), and which way the magnet is moving (marked with the velocity $\vec{v}$ arrow). Before anything, you should start with a picture of your situation.

 Next we need to determine the direction of the magnetic field through the relevant area. For this situation, the relevant area is going to be our coils, so we are particularly interested in the direction of the B-field through the coils. Remember for a bar magnet, the magnetic field should point out from the north side of the magnet, wrap around, and point into the south side of the magnet. Since our coil is next to the south side of the magnet, this means the magnetic field inside the coil will mostly be pointing to the left (in towards the south side of the magnet). So in the second column we will put an arrow to the left. Next we need to determine the direction of the magnetic field through the relevant area.

 Remember that the $d\vec{A}$ is perpendicular to the cross section area of the coils. Meaning, that you can think of the $d\vec{A}$ as pointing "out of” the coil. For our set up, this means that $d\vec{A}$ could point either to the left or right (-x or +x direction). It doesn't matter which way you pick, as long as the $d\vec{A}$ is perpendicular to the area. For this example, we'll pick the $d\vec{A}$ to point to the left, so we draw an arrow in the third column that points to the left. Remember that the $d\vec{A}$ is perpendicular to the cross section area of the coils.

 In our case, this means we'd be taking a small positive number minus a big positive number. This will result in a //negative// change in flux. (If it helps, you can assign numbers to help you think through this. For example, we could take $2-10 = -8$.) So we write down in the sixth column that the change in flux is negative. In our case, this means we'd be taking a small positive number minus a big positive number.

 For our example, we found that $V_{ind}$ was positive. So this means that we would stick our thumb in the -x direction (pointing to the left) and then curl our fingers around in a circle. You should find the the current would go into the page at the top of the coil and would come back out of the page at the bottom of the coil. Just because it's often hard to draw the current direction in 3D, we often will just notate where on the coil the current is into/out of the page. For our example, we found that $V_{ind}$ was positive.

 The right hand rule for determining the induced current direction is definitely more complicated than our previous right hand rules; however, this table helps break the process down into manageable chunks. We definitely recommend writing out each step in this way - otherwise it is easy to miss a step or a negative sign, which will throw off your final result. The right hand rule for determining the induced current direction is definitely more complicated than our previous right hand rules; however, this table helps break the process down into manageable chunks.
