Fleming's Right Hand rule


Fleming's right hand rule (for generators) shows the direction ofinduced current flow when a conductor moves in a magnetic field.

The right hand is held with the thumb, first finger and second finger mutually at right angles, as shown in the diagram .
  • The Thumb represents the direction of Motion of the conductor.
  • The First finger represents the direction of the Field.
  • The Second finger represents the direction of the induced or generated Current (in the classical direction, from positive to negative).
