Correct option is A
The correct answer is (A)
Fleming's Right-Hand Rule:
Fleming's right-hand rule is a rule used to determine the direction of induced current in a conductor when it moves in a magnetic field. It is primarily used in generators or situations involving electromagnetic induction.
How it works:
1. Thumb: Points in the direction of the motion of the conductor (relative to the magnetic field).
2. First finger (Index finger): Points in the direction of the magnetic field (from North to South).
3. Middle finger: Points in the direction of the induced current (conventional flow from positive to negative).
Purpose:
Fleming's right-hand rule helps in understanding how mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy in devices like:
- Electric generators.
- Alternators.
Example:
- When a wire is moved perpendicular to a magnetic field, the right-hand rule predicts the direction of the induced current in the wire.
- This is the opposite of Fleming's Left-Hand Rule, which is used for motors (conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy).
