Question

In what situation do we use Fleming's Right-hand rule?

Answer 1

Step 1: Fleming Right-Hand rule

According to Fleming's Right-Hand Rule, if we arrange our right hand's thumb, forefinger, and middle finger perpendicular to each other, the direction of thumb gives the direction of the conductor's motion relative to the magnetic field, the direction of forefinger gives the direction of the magnetic field, and the direction of the middle finger gives the direction of induced current.

Step 2: When we use this rule.

When a conductor coupled to a circuit travels in a magnetic field, Fleming's right-hand rule (for generators) shows the direction of induced current. It can be used to figure out how the current in a generator's windings is flowing.
