Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fleming's generator rule states that when a conductor moves in a magnetic field, a current is induced in it, and the direction of this induced current is perpendicular to both the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of motion of the conductor. The center finger in the rule represents the direction of this induced current, hence it shows the direction of the current induced into the armature. The other options, thrust and field flux, are not related to Fleming's generator rule.
