Which one of the following laws of electromagnetism does not give the direction of does not give the direction of magnetic field ?
General KnowledgePhysics
- ARight-hand thumb rule
- BFleming’s left-hand rule
- CFleming’s right-hand rule
- DFaraday’s law of electromagnetic induction
Explanation
The right-hand thumb rule gives the direction of the magnetic field around a current, Fleming's left-hand rule gives the direction of force on a current-carrying conductor, and Fleming's right-hand rule gives the direction of induced current. Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction gives the magnitude of the induced emf (e = −dΦ/dt); its direction comes from Lenz's law. Faraday's law does not give the direction, so it is the exception.
