The right hand rule is a simple way to find out the direction of the field surrounding a current carrying conductor.
Point your right thumb in the direction of the current in the wire (which flows from high to lower voltages) and curl the other fingers as if around the wire; the curled fingers define the direction of the magnetic field generated.
CommentIt might be worth pointing out that the above answer applies for conventional flow, not electron flow.
It experiences maximum force when it is placed perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field.
Interesting question. Because Fleming's right hand rule tells us that a conductor carrying a current perpedicular to a magnetic field will move in a particular direction we know that movement, current and magnetic field are related. So if we take the current away and instead force the conductor to move as described then we would observe a current in the wire. However, you have not said that your conductor is connected in a circuit - in which case the charge carriers in the conductor will tend to one side like a bar magnet.AnswerThe original answer is incorrect. A voltage would be induced into the conductor. No current would flow unless the conductor forms a continuous circuit.
Presumably, you are asking the purpose of a neutral conductor, rather than 'contactor'?A alternating-current supply has two conductors, a lineconductor and a neutral conductor. The line conductor is at system potential (e.g. 230 V in Europe), whereas the neutral conductor is at approximately earth (ground) potential because it is earthed (grounded) at the supply transformer. The neutral conductor acts as the 'return' path to the transformer, carrying the same load current as the line conductor.
Electric current, magnetic field intensity, length of the conductor, angle between the electric current and magnetic field
it is called the thumb rule right hand curled means flux line thumb means direction of current. there will be a reversal of flux.
Fleming's right hand rule is used to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field. By aligning the thumb with the direction of current flow, the forefinger with the direction of the magnetic field, the middle finger points in the direction of the magnetic force acting on the conductor.
By using right hand rulee.. how?? let me explain.. first you should be knowing the direction of flow of current, then hold the current carrying conductor by your right hand in a way that your thumb points the direction of current flowing and curl your fingures around the conductor the manner your figures curl around condutor would determine the the magnetic field's direction that may be clockwise or anti-clockwise..thankkxx.
The force on current carrying conductor kept in a magnetic field is given by the expression F = B I L sin@ So the force becomes zero when the current carrying conductor is kept parallel to the magnetic field direction and becomes maximum when the current direction is normal to the magnetic field direction. Ok now why does a force exist on the current carrying conductor? As current flows through a conductor magnetic lines are formed aroung the conductor. This magnetic field gets interaction with the external field and so a force comes into the scene.
The right hand rule. If you were to place your right hand around the conductor, with the thumb pointing in the direction of current flow, your fingers which are wrapped around the conductor will point in the direction of magnetic flux. Said another way, if you are looking at the end of the conductor and current is flowing towards you, then magnetic flux will be counter-clockwise.
Current carrying conductor will have magnetic lines around it. So when it is kept perpendicular to the magnetic field then the force would be maximum. The force depends on 1. magnitude of current 2. Magnetic field induction 3. Angle between the direction of current and magnetic field. Fleming's Left hand rule is used to find the direction of force acting on the rod
The direction of force produced on a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field can be determined by this rule. the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of the left hand mutually at right angles to each other, such that the forefinger is in direction of flux, and the middle finger is in a direction of current flow in the conductor, then the thumb indicates the direction of motion of the conductor.
As induced magnetic lines exist in a plane perpendicular to the direction of flow of current, the component in the direction of current i.e cos 90 component will be zero. Recall cos 90 = 0. Hence the answer
Sketch the direction line of force around a conductor which is carrying current away from the viewer and also towards the viewer.

Motor runs by the principle of Michael Faraday's Electromagnetic Induction. It is defined as "when a current-carrying conductor is located in an external magnetic field perpendicular to the conductor, the conductor experiences a force perpendicular to itself and to the external magnetic field". The direction of rotation is determined by the Right-hand Rule and is "if the right thumb points in the direction of the current in the conductor and the fingers of the right hand point in the direction of the external magnetic field, then the force on the conductor is directed outward from the palm of the right hand".
