Question

Direction of rotation of armature of motor can be found with the help of ______.

A.

Fleming’s right-hand rule

B.

Fleming’s left-hand rule

C.

Right hand thumb rule

D.

Maxwell’s corkscrew rule

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (B) Fleming’s left-hand rule.

  • Explanation: Fleming’s left-hand rule helps determine the direction of force (motion) on the armature of a motor, given the direction of the magnetic field and current.

  • Incorrect Options Explanations:

    • Fleming’s right-hand rule: This rule is used to find the direction of induced current in a generator, not in a motor.
    • Right hand thumb rule: This rule is used to find the direction of magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor.
    • Maxwell’s corkscrew rule: This rule is used to find the direction of the magnetic field in relation to a moving electric charge, not for motor rotation.

Information Booster:

  • Fleming’s left-hand rule:
    • Thumb represents the direction of motion (force).
    • First finger represents the direction of magnetic field.
    • Second finger represents the direction of current.
  • Armature: The rotating part of a motor, where mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.
