Question

State Fleming’s right-hand rule.

Answer 1

Fleming's right-hand rule is used to determine the direction of motion (force) in a generator, based on the interaction between magnetic fields and conductors. It helps to predict the direction of induced current when a conductor moves through a magnetic field.

To use Fleming’s right-hand rule:

1. Thumb: Point in the direction of the motion of the conductor (the movement of the wire).
   

1. First finger: Point in the direction of the magnetic field (from North to South).
   

1. Second finger: The direction in which the induced current flows (through the conductor).
   

So, when you align your right hand with your thumb, first finger, and second finger according to the above directions, the second finger shows the direction of the induced current in the conductor.
