Fleming's right-hand rule

Fleming proposed a simple rule for giving the direction of the induced current to explain one of Faraday's experiments as follows:











Faraday's and Lenz's laws may be tested by the following simple experiments:

(a) rotating a metal disc at a constant rate in a magnetic field and measuring the e.m.f. generated between the rim and the axle;

(b) moving a bar magnet within a solenoid connected to a meter;

(c) rotating a magnet near a coil connected to a cathode ray oscilloscope.
