PHY 102 Electromagnetic Induction 2 Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

Fleming's Left-Hand Rule is primarily used to determine the direction of which quantity?
Options
A Induced current in a conductor moving in a magnetic field.
B Magnetic field strength around a current-carrying wire.
C Force acting on a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field.
Correct Answer
D Electromotive force generated in a coil due to changing flux.
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.' Page 15 further clarifies: 'Fleming's Left-Hand rule is mainly applicable to electric motors'.

Hint

Remember the 'motor rule' and what the thumb, forefinger, and middle finger represent in the Left-Hand Rule.
