Question
Write Fleming’s left hand rule.
Advertisements
Solution
Stretch the index finger, the middle finger, and the thumb of the left hand mutually perpendicular to each other. If the index finger is in the direction of the magnetic field and the middle finger points in the direction of the current, then the thumb will point towards the direction of the force on the conductor.

The graph (fig A) illustrates the correlation between the number of protons (x-axis) and the number of neutrons (y-axis) for elements A, B, C, D, and E in the periodic table. These elements are denoted by the letters rather than their conventional symbols. When the element C, depicted in the graph, undergoes radioactive decay, it releases radioactive rays. When these rays are directed into the plane of the paper in the presence of a magnetic field, as indicated in the fig B, they experience deflection, causing them to move upwards.
