Stretch the thumb the first finger and the central finger of the left hand so that they are mutually perpendicular to each other. If the first four finger points in the direction of magnetic field the central finger points in the direction of current then the thumb points in the direction of motion of the conductor is known as fleming's left hand rule.

What is the shape of the magnetic field that surrounds a current carrying wire?
The shape of the magnetic field created by current flow in a wire will be circular around the wire. The magnetic lines of force "surround" or "wrap around" the wire according to the left hand rule. Grab the wire with your left hand with your thumb extended and pointing in the direction the electrons are flowing. The fingers will be wrapping around the wire in the direction of the magnetic field. Look at the wire "head on" and picture the electrons "coming at you" as you look. The magnetic lines of force will circle around the wire in a clockwise direction. Grab the wire with your left hand as you look "into" that wire and look at your fingers. Clockwise. The magnetic lines of force "circle" the conductor in closed rings. temptress_skkk: In my textbook, it says the "right-hand rule" instead of the "left-hand rule" but it's basically the same thing, only the current is going the opposite way with your right hand instead of your left hand being in its place. it is the right hand rule of thumb not the left hand. and the magnetics line will fade as the square of the distance.
If You're Touching A Counter With My Left Hand And You Get Shocked With Your Right Hand Will The Electricity Travel To Your Left Hand If It's The Quickest Route To The Ground?
Most of the electric current will pass through the path through the body which offers the least resistance, NOT the 'quickest' path, as speed doesn't come into it.
Is the red wire connection usually on the left and the black is on the right?
There is no code rule designation which side that the wire colours are terminated on. I always use red on the left and black on the right when connecting to a distribution panel.
To use your left hand to determine the direction of the voltage developed in a moving conductor in a stationary magnetic field you must point your?
To use your left hand to determine the direction of the voltage developed in a moving conductor in a stationary magnetic field, you must point your forefinger in the direction of the lines of force.
Why high voltage line workers keep left hand in pocket?
If you touch a power line with one hand, the current goes through your body. If you touch it with two hands, the current goes through your heart. They keep one hand in their pocket to prevent touching the line with both hands.

What is the Difference between left hand rule and right hand rule?
Fleming's right hand rule shows the direction of induced current flow when a conductor moves in a magnetic field. Fleming's left hand rule shows the direction of the thrust on a conductor carrying a current in a magnetic field.
When was the left hand rule invented?
it wasnt invented ;)
What is the left hand rule for conductors?
The left hand rule for conductors says that your fingers will point in the direction of the resulting magnetic field. The magnetic field is produced by the electron flow.
What hand do you put any ring for men?
Usually the left hand, though there is not a rule as to which hand or finger.
Is there a rule about always eating with a spoon in your left hand?
If there is, it is not an etiquette rule, and is not a rule of manners. It would be a custom, or a cultural rule. Maybe even a family rule. Etiquette says that a person eats with whichever hand they please.
What was the ghost in a Christmas Carol holding in his hand?

To use your left hand to determine the direction of the voltage developed in?
To use your left hand to determine the direction of the voltage developed in moving conductor place your forefinger in the direction of the lines of force. Fleming developed this hand rule.
When using the left hand rule for generator the thumb point in what dierction?
There is no left handed rule. The correct term is right handed rule. Using the right handed rule, your thumb is pointing in the direction of current flow, and your fingers are pointing in the direction of magnetic flux flow.
What would moving a wire though a magnetic field generate?
Current following the left hand rule of induction.
