7.2.1 Fleming's Left-Hand Rule

• What is the purpose of Fleming's Left-Hand Rule?

  Determines force direction
• The forefinger in Fleming's Left-Hand Rule points from North to South.

  True
• To use Fleming's Left-Hand Rule, align your forefinger with the magnetic field direction.
• Steps to use Fleming's Left-Hand Rule

  1️⃣ Align forefinger with magnetic field direction

  2️⃣ Align middle finger with current direction

  3️⃣ Thumb points in force direction
• The thumb in Fleming's Left-Hand Rule represents the force
• What does the middle finger represent in Fleming's Left-Hand Rule?

  Electric current
• If the magnetic field is directed from North to South and the electric current is flowing from left to right, the force is upward.


  True
• To find the magnetic field direction, align your middle finger with the direction of the electric current
• What direction does the middle finger point when determining the direction of current using Fleming's Left-Hand Rule?

  Current direction
• Fleming's Left-Hand Rule is used to determine the direction of force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field.

  True
