your thumb will point to the diretion of the rotation...and you forefinger will point to the direction of the magnetic flux

Answer

Fleming's Left-Hand Rule applies to motors when using 'conventional flow' and to generators when using 'electron flow'. So, assuming you are talking about electron flow, the thuMb indicates the direction of Motion of the conductor relative to the flux, the First finger indicates the direction of the magnetic Field (north to south), and the sEcond finger indicates the direction of the E.m.f. induced into the conductor. This applies whether the generator as an a.c. machine or a d.c. machine.

How many directions does alternating current flow?

The frequency of direct current (DC) is 0 Hz. The current only flows in one direction, like the electrical system in your car. On the other hand alternating current (AC) as it suggests alternates back and forth from source to load and when graphed it looks like a sine wave. The frequency of this current can vary depending on the source and it's application. Take your house hold electrical system for example, it is AC current with a frequency of 60 Hz (in North America), which means that you will have 60 current cycles a second. There is a lot more to both AC and DC systems and their applications but that's the basic difference between the two.

-- Hand-crank generator -- Hydroelectric generator -- Windmill generator -- Front-wheel generator on a bicycle -- Car generator, run by a belt from a wheel on the crank-shaft -- Any turbine generator, i.e. turned by a shaft which is forced to turn by anything else


What energy is used in a hand generator?

Using a hand generator to produce electricity takes 'physical energy' to turn the handle.


How do you apply the right hand rule to determine the direction of a magnetic field around a current-carrying wire?

To apply the right hand rule to determine the direction of a magnetic field around a current-carrying wire, point your thumb in the direction of the current flow (from positive to negative). Your fingers will then curl in the direction of the magnetic field around the wire.


How to apply the right hand rule in physics?

To apply the right hand rule in physics, align your right hand with the direction of the current or magnetic field. Your thumb points in the direction of the current, while your fingers curl in the direction of the magnetic field or force. This rule helps determine the direction of forces or magnetic fields in various physics problems.


What is the difference between electricmotor and generator?

Here are the main differences between an electric motor and an electric generator: Functionality: Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical or kinetic energy, whereas electric generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Usage: Electric motors are used in fans, mixers, washing machines, and other household appliances, whereas electric generators are used as power backup during outages, in construction sites, mining areas, and agriculture. Fleming’s Rule: Electric motors follow Fleming’s left-hand rule, whereas electric generators follow Fleming’s right-hand rule. Principle: The working principle of a motor is based on the current-carrying conductor, whereas the working principle of a generator is based on electromagnetic induction. Current: In motors, the current has to be supplied to armature windings, whereas in generators, armature windings produce current. EMF: Electric motors give out back EMF, whereas electric generators produce induced EMF.


What uses a magnet to change mechanical energy into electrical energy?

It's called a generator. Most of them spin a magnet within a coil of wire, which induces a voltage in the coil. The size ranges from something that you can hold in your hand to big multi-ton giants that are used in power plants. Every automobile has a generator in it. These are usually referred to as "alternators," since they produce alternating current, but the principle is the same.


Could you generate power by hand generator?

yes, because our hand is one of the type of conductor


Do you use static electricity in your homes or current electricity?

Current electricity is typically used in homes because it is more reliable and can provide a constant flow of energy. Static electricity, on the other hand, is not commonly used in household applications due to its unpredictable nature and limited usefulness for powering appliances or devices.
