State Fleming’s Left-Hand Rule
Fleming’s left-hand rule states that “When a current-carrying conductor is placed in an external magnetic field, the conductor experiences a force perpendicular to both the field and to the direction of the current flow.” It was invented by John Ambrose Fleming.
State Fleming’s left-hand rule
According to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, when a moving conductor is placed inside a magnetic field, a current will be induced in it. If the conductor is forcefully moved inside the magnetic field, there will be a relationship between the direction of applied force, magnetic field, and the current.
- It is mainly used in the working of electrical motors.
- The main purpose of the rule is to find the direction of motion in an electric motor.
The electric motor works on the principle of Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction and the direction of motion in an electric motor is determined by this popular Fleming’s left-hand rule.
Fleming's left-hand rule for electric motors is one of a pair of visual mnemonics, the other being Fleming's right-hand rule.
