Athe right-hand thumb rule
BFleming's right-hand rule
CFleming's left-hand rule
DOhm's law
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Fleming's right-hand rule
1. When a conductor moves through a magnetic field, a current is induced in it.
2. **Fleming's right-hand rule** gives the direction of this induced current.
3. (The left-hand rule is for the force on a current, i.e. the motor effect.)
