Fleming’s Left hand rule

• The direction in which a coil turns in influenced by the following factors:
• the direction in which the current is flowing
• the magnetic field
• The direction of movement of a current carrying wire can be predicted using Fleming’s Left hand rule
• Fleming’s left hand rule is shown above
• The second finger shows the direction of the current (towards the negative terminal)
• The first finger points in the direction of the magnetic field (towards the south pole)
• The thumb shows the direction of movement of the current carrying wire/coil
