Right Hand Rule 1 and 2

Right-Hand Rule #1: This rule states that around a conductor, when one wraps his right hand around, the thumb points to the direction of conventional current flow and the fingers point in the direction of the magnetic field. 
Right-Hand Rule #2: This rule states that around a solenoid, or electromagnet, when one wraps his right hand around, the thumb points in the direction of north, (magnetic field) and the fingers point in the direction of conventional current flow.
