Fleming right-hand thumb rule:

When a conductor such as a wire attached to a circuit moves through a magnetic field, an electric current is induced in the wire due to Faraday's law of induction

Fleming's right-hand rule (for generators) shows the direction of induced current when a conductor attached to a circuit moves in a magnetic field.

  • The thumb is pointed in the direction of the motion of the conductor relative to the magnetic field.
  • The first finger is pointed in the direction of the magnetic field. (north to south)
  • Then the second finger represents the direction of the induced or generated current within the conductor (from the terminal with lower electric potential to the terminal with higher electric potential, as in a voltage source)

Finger

Right-hand rule

Left-hand rule

Thumb

The direction of motion of conductor (input)

The direction of the conductor (output)

Forefinger

Magnetic field

Magnetic field

Middle finger

The direction of induced emf (output)

The direction of current (input)

 

Conclusion:

The direction of induced emf is known by Flemings right-hand thumb rule
