Quick Answer: The Fleming’s Right Hand Rule Apparatus is a physics teaching apparatus that demonstrates the direction of induced current when a conductor moves through a magnetic field, the generator rule of electromagnetic induction.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Demonstrates Fleming’s right hand rule for induced current.
Relates the direction of conductor motion, magnetic field and induced current.
Thumb stands for motion, first finger for magnetic field and second finger for induced current.
Supports practical explanation of generator and dynamo principles.
About This Product
Teachers use this apparatus to show how a conductor moving through a magnetic field produces an induced current, and in which direction it flows. The conductor is moved through the field between the magnet poles while the deflection or current indication is observed. Students then reverse the motion or the magnetic field and compare how the indication changes. It supports lessons on induced current, magnetic flux, generators and dynamos.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What do the three fingers represent in Fleming’s right hand rule? The thumb points in the direction of the conductor's motion, the first finger in the direction of the magnetic field and the second finger in the direction of the induced current.
