What is Fleming's right hand rule Quora?

Answer 1

Fleming's Right Hand Rule is a simple way to remember the direction of the induced current, magnetic field, and motion in an electric generator.

Here’s how it works:

1. Thumb: The direction of the motion (force) of the conductor (like a wire).
   

1. Index Finger: The direction of the magnetic field (from North to South).
   

1. Middle Finger: The direction of the induced current in the conductor.
   

In short:

1. Thumb = Motion (Force)
   

1. Index Finger = Magnetic Field
   

1. Middle Finger = Induced Current
   

This rule is used in generators to predict the direction of the electric current produced when a conductor moves through a magnetic field.
