    The document discusses Fleming's left hand rule and right hand rule, which describe the direction of motion and magnetic fields based on the direction of electric current. The left hand rule shows the direction of thrust on a conductor carrying current in a magnetic field, while the right hand rule shows how a current-carrying wire generates a magnetic field. An electric motor uses these principles to produce mechanical energy from electrical energy through interaction of magnetic fields and current.

    The Left Hand Rule( for motors) shows what happens when charged

    particles (such as electrons in a current) enter a magnetic field

    This rule is also called Fleming's


    Left Hand Rule, after English
    electronics pioneer John Ambrose
    Fleming
    First finger represents the
    direction of the Field.
    The Second finger represents the
    direction of the Current
    [conventional current, positive(+)
    to negative(-).
    The Thumb represents the
    direction of the Thrust or resultant
    Motion.
    FBI - moving from thumb to
    second finger.
    The thumb is the force F
    The first finger is the magnetic
    field B
    The second finger is the of current
    I

    The Right Hand Rule simply shows how a current-carrying


    wire generates a magnetic field
    point your thumb in the
    direction of the current and let
    your fingers assume a curved
    position, the magnetic field
    circling around the wires flows
    in the direction in which your
    four fingers point.
    Fleming's right hand rule (for
    generators). The appropriatelyhanded rule can be recalled by
    remembering that the letter "g"
    is in "right" and "generator"

    Fleming's left hand rule (for electric motors) shows the direction of the
    thrust on a conductor carrying a current in a magnetic field

    An electric motor is a motor


    that uses electrical energy to
    produce mechanical energy,
    usually through the interaction
    of magnetic fields and currentcarrying conductors.
    Electric motors are used in
    most, modern machines.
    Obvious uses would be in
    rotating machines such as
    fans, turbines, drills, the
    wheels on electric cars,
    locomotives and conveyor
    belts.

    The reverse process,


    producing electrical energy
    from mechanical energy, is
    accomplished by a generator
    or dynamo
    A generator forces electric
    charges to move through an
    external electrical circuit, but it
    does not create electricity or
    charge, which is already
    present in the wire of its
    windings. It is analogous to a
    water pump, which creates a
    flow of water but does not
    create the water inside.
