What does Flemings left hand rule tell you about?
It tells you about the motor effect. E.g which way a current carrying wire will move when inside a magnetic field.
on the picture:
"M" tells you which way the wire will move
"F" is the direction the field points
"C" is the direction the current flows (conventional current)
What does fleming's right hand tell you?
The dynamo effect. The right hand rule can tell you the direction of induced current in cases where field direction and movement direction are known.
on the picture:
"M" tells you which way the wire will move
"F" is the direction the field points
"C" is the direction the current flows (conventional current)
