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.
