Concept:

Fleming’s Right-Hand Rule is used in the context of electromagnetic induction to find the direction of the induced electromotive force (EMF) or current in a conductor moving through a magnetic field.

Calculation

In Fleming’s Right-Hand Rule: - Thumb represents the direction of motion of the conductor, - First (index) finger represents the direction of magnetic field, - Second (middle) finger represents the direction of induced EMF (or current).

Hence, this rule is used to determine the direction of **induced EMF** when a conductor moves in a magnetic field. It does not indicate magnetic field around a conductor (which is given by Right-hand Thumb Rule), nor does it apply to the force on a charged particle (which is explained by Lorentz force law).
