How does the left hand rule apply alternating current generator?

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


Which finger indicates lesbian?

There is no scientific basis or factual connection between a specific finger and someone's sexual orientation. Sexual orientation is a complex aspect of a person's identity that is not determined by physical characteristics like fingers. It is important to avoid making assumptions or stereotypes based on physical features.


What is the Flemings left hand rule?

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.


What is the idea behind him about Fleming's left hand rule and right hand hand rule?

Fleming's right hand rule (for generators) tells us that if we take our right hand and extend the thumb, and also the index and the middle finger such that they are all at right angles to each other, we can discover the direction of the current induced in the wire of the generator. We'll have to know the direction of the motion of the conductor, and the direction of the magnetic field to do this. *Special note: the direction of the induced current will be the direction of conventional current in this mnemonic. Conventional current is the flow of positive charges in a conductor. We currently know that it is the negative charges - the electrons - that flow when current flows in a wire. But back in the day, theorists modeled the flow of positive charges, or what we call conventional current, and Fleming was an "old school" guy who worked with this conventional current. Let's apply Fleming's right hand rule to discover which way conventional current will flow in a wire in a generator. As stated, we have to know the direction of the motion of the conductor and the direction of the magnetic field. We have our right hand out and the thumb and first two fingers at right angles, each to the other. The thumb will point in the direction of the motion of the conductor. The index finger will point in the direction of the magnetic lines of force. We have motion of the conductor and the direction of the magnetic field. The middle finger will now point in the direction of conventional current flow in this mnemonic. Electron flow will be the opposite of that conventional current, if you are interested. But you knew that. Wikipedia has an article on Fleming's right hand rule, and a link to that post is provided below. The drawings alone are worth the trip over there, and the page is posted free of charge. Why not take advantage of this offer and check it out? It'll be worth it, and you won't get Rick rolled.

What finger do you put the claddagh ring to say that your not taken?

On the right ring finger with the heart facing outwards. When the heart faces inwards on the right hand it indicates you are in a relationship. Left ring finger with heart facing outwards indicates engagement and facing inwards indicates marriage.


How can you determine wind direction by wetting your finger and hold it up into the air?

When you wet your finger and hold it in the air you can determine wind direction, if there is in fact wind, because the wind blows against your finger and chills the fluids on your finger. Therefore, whatever part of you finger is cold, in the direction the wind is coming from.

How can you determine the wind direction by wetting your finger and holding it up in the air?

You can determine wind direction by wetting your finger and holding it up in the air and feeling which side of your finger is being hit by the air. This would mean that the wind is coming from that direction.


What does a ring on a man's left ring finger mean?

If the ring is on the left hand, the finger next to the pinky, that usually indicates that he is married.


What is flaming left hand rule?

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. by Prosenjit.
