Fleming's Right Hand Rule

Definition:

Fleming's Right Hand Rule is a principle used in physics to determine the direction of a force, current, or magnetic field in relation to each other in a three-dimensional coordinate system.

Senses:

Sense 1:

Noun: Refers to the application of Fleming's Right Hand Rule to determine the direction of force generated in a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field.

Example: According to Fleming's Right Hand Rule, when the current flows upwards and the magnetic field points east, the resulting force will be towards the north.

Sense 2:

Noun: Indicates the utilization of Fleming's Right Hand Rule to determine the direction of a current induced in a conductor due to its motion relative to a magnetic field.

Example: When the velocity of a conductor moving towards the east creates a magnetic field towards the north, the direction of the induced current can be found using Fleming's Right Hand Rule.
