In the simple electric motor of figure given below, the coil rotates anticlockwise as seen by the eye from the position X when current flows in the coil

Is the current flowing clockwise or anticlockwise around the coil when viewed from above?

Solution

The current is flowing in clockwise direction around the coil when viewed from above.
Using Fleming's left-hand rule, the direction of current can be found.

Q. As shown in the figure, P and Q are two coaxial conducting loops separated by some distance. When the switch S is closed, a clockwise current

I_{p}

flows in P (as seen by E) and an induced current

I_{Q 1}

flows in Q. The switch remains closed for a long time. When S is opened, a current

I_{Q 2}

flows in Q. Then the directions of
