Subjective Type

State the difference between Fleming's Left-Hand Rule and Fleming's Right-Hand Rule. Name the electric devices where these rules find an important application.

Solution

Fleming's Left-Hand Rule: Fleming's Right-Hand Rule:
This rule is used to determine the direction of magnetic force This rule is used to determine the direction of induced electric current.
Centre finger/ middle finger signifies for electric current. Centre finger/ middle finger signifies induced or generated current within the conductor.
Thumb signifies the direction of the magnetic force. Thumb points the direction of the motion of conductor.
Application: The direction of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is determined by Right-hand thumb rule. Application: The direction of induced current within an electric generator is determined by Fleming's right-hand rule
