Question

The direction of rotation of a coil and induced current in an electric generator is determined by

  1. Fleming’s right-hand rule
  2. Fleming’s left-hand rule
  3. Faraday law of electromagnetic inductors
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

Fleming's right-hand rule gives the direction of the rotation of the coil and the induced current.

The correct answer is: Fleming’s right-hand rule


    The direction of rotation of a coil and induced current in an electric generator is determined by Fleming's right-hand rule.
    • The direction of induced current can be determined by Fleming's right-hand rule.
    • As per the law, if the forefinger indicates the direction of magnetic field and the thumb shows the direction of motion of conductor, then the middle finger will show the direction of the induced current. 
    • The forefinger, thumb and middle finger of the right hand are arranged in such a way that they remain mutually perpendicular to each other.
