PHY 102 Electromagnetic Induction 2 Objective Question

Question

What does Fleming's Left Hand Rule primarily determine?
Options
A The direction of an induced current in a conductor.
B The magnitude of the magnetic field generated by a current.
C The direction of the force acting on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field.
Correct Answer
D The relationship between voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 14 states, 'Whenever a current carrying conductor comes under a magnetic field, there will be a force acting on the conductor. The direction of this force can be found using Fleming's Left Hand Rule.'

Hint

This rule helps determine the direction of *force* given current and magnetic field directions.
