Question

Which of the following rules is used to determine the direction of induced current in a generator?

• A. Fleming's left hand rule
• B. Right hand thumb rule
• C. Left hand thumb rule
• D. Fleming's right hand rule

Answer 1

The correct option is D Fleming's right hand rule

We can use Fleming's Right-Hand rule to determine the direction of the induced current in a generator.

According to this rule, when the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of the right hand are stretched perpendicular to each other if the forefinger indicates the direction of the magnetic field and the thumb denotes the direction of motion of the conductor, then the middle finger will represent the direction of the induced current.
