Question 1 Define Fleming’s left hand rule?
Force on a Current carrying Conductor in a Magnetic Field
When a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, the conductor experiences a force.
(1) Take a small aluminium rod. Using two connecting wires suspend it horizontally from a stand.
(2) Place a strong horse-shoe magnet in such a way that the rod lies between the two poles with the magnetic field directed upwards. For this the north pole of the magnet vertically below and south pole vertically above the aluminium rod.
(3) Connect the aluminium rod in series with a battery, a key and a rheostat.
(4) Now pass a current through the aluminium rod from end A to end B.
(5) It is observed that the rod is displaced towards the left. The rod gets displaced.
(6) Reverse the direction of current flowing through the rod and observe the direction of its displacement. It is now towards the right.
Conclusion
(1) Force is exerted on current carrying Al rod when it is placed in a magnetic field.
(2) Direction of force is reversed when direction of current through conductor is reversed.
(3) If the direction of magnetic field is reversed, the direction of force gets reversed.
Fleming’s left Hand Rule
Stretch the left hand such that the thumb, first finger and central finger are mutually perpendicular to each other. If the first finger points in direction of magnetic field and central finger points in direction of current, then the thumb will point in direction of force.
Thanks
Tq very much it was very useful for me
Thank you madam . You made learning simple.
thank you very much mam this notes helped me for my todays class
Thank u mam for this note. The note is not much complicated to understand it’s easy to remember.
your truly amazing!!!. I had to do a Project in a day and couldnt find accurate info but you helped me doing this.
