Question

The direction of the induced current when the conductor is moving in the region of magnetic field is given by:

A.

Fleming’s left-hand rule

B.

Maxwell’s corkscrew rule

C.

Fleming’s right-hand rule

D.

Right-hand thumb rule

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (C) Fleming’s right-hand rule.

Explanation:
Fleming’s right-hand rule is used to determine the direction of the induced current when a conductor moves in a magnetic field.

  • Thumb → Direction of motion of the conductor.
  • Forefinger → Direction of the magnetic field.
  • Middle finger → Direction of the induced current.

This rule is widely used in electric generators and electromagnetic induction concepts.

Information Booster:

  • Fleming’s Right-Hand Rule: Used in electric generators to determine the induced current’s direction.
  • Fleming’s Left-Hand Rule: Used in electric motors to determine the direction of force on a current-carrying conductor.
  • Electromagnetic Induction: The process of generating an electric current in a conductor by changing the magnetic field around it.
  • Applications: Used in dynamos, alternators, and power generation systems.
  • Discovered by:John Ambrose Fleming (1905).

Additional Information:

  • Fleming’s left-hand rule: Used for finding the force on a current-carrying conductor, not for induced current.
  • Maxwell’s corkscrew rule: Describes the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor.
  • Right-hand thumb rule: Used to determine the magnetic field direction around a conductor, not the induced current.
