Question

State the right-hand rule as it applies to: a. a current-carrying conductor; b. a current-carrying coil.

Expert Solution

(a)

Right hand rule applies a current carrying conductor:

Fleming's right hand rule gives the direction of current flows.

Right hand is held with the thumb, index finger and middle finger mutually perpendicular to each other.

the thumb is pointed in the direction of the motion of the conductor relative to the magnetic field.
the forefinger is pointed in the direction of the magnetic field.
the second finger represents the direction of the induced current.
