Question
State Fleming’s Right Hand Rule.
Advertisements
Solution

- Stretch the thumb, forefinger and middle finger of the right hand so that they are perpendicular to each other.
- If the forefinger indicates the direction of the magnetic field and the thumb shows the direction of the motion of the conductor, then the middle finger will show the direction of the induced current.
- The induced current is found to be the maximum when the direction of motion of the coil is at right angles to the magnetic field.

It is desired to measure the magnitude of field between the poles of a powerful loud speaker magnet. A small flat search coil of area 2 cm2 with 25 closely wound turns, is positioned normal to the field direction, and then quickly snatched out of the field region. Equivalently, one can give it a quick 90° turn to bring its plane parallel to the field direction. The total charge flown in the coil (measured by a ballistic galvanometer connected to coil) is 7.5 mC. The combined resistance of the coil and the galvanometer is 0.50 Ω.
