    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.
