Fleming's right hand rule. In electromagnetism, Fleming's right-hand rule (for generators) shows the direction of induced current when a conductor attached to a circuit moves in a magnetic field. It can be used to determine the direction of current in a generator's windings.
The induced current from motion in a magnetic field (known as Fleming's right-hand rule). The x, y and z unit vectors in a Cartesian coordinate system can be chosen to follow the right-hand rule. Right-handed coordinate systems are often used in rigid body and kinematics.
The second is Fleming's right-hand rule for generators, which applies to situations where a conductor moving through a magnetic field has an electromotive force induced in it as a result (Faraday's law of induction). The purpose of the rule is to find the direction of induced current when a conductor moves in a magnetic field.
Both dl and dA have a sign ambiguity; to get the correct sign, the right-hand rule is used, as explained in the article Kelvin–Stokes theorem. For a planar surface Σ , a positive path element d l of curve ∂ Σ is defined by the right-hand rule as one that points with the fingers of the right hand when the thumb points in the direction of ...
Using the right hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic field. The direction of the magnetic field at a point, the direction of the arrowheads on the magnetic field lines, which is the direction that the "north pole" of the compass needle points, can be found from the current by the right-hand rule.
The various FBI mnemonics (for electric motors) show the direction of the force on a conductor carrying a current in a magnetic field as predicted by Fleming's left hand rule for motors [1] and Faraday's law of induction. Other mnemonics exist that use a right hand rule for predicting resulting motion from a preexisting current and field.
The induced magnetic field inside any loop of wire always acts to keep the magnetic flux in the loop constant. The direction of an induced current can be determined using the right-hand rule to show which direction of current flow would create a magnetic field that would oppose the direction of changing flux through the loop.

The right-hand grip rule for a straight wire (left) and for a coiled wire (right). Electrical current passed through a wire coiled around an iron core can produce an electromagnet . The third of Maxwell's equations is called the Ampère–Maxwell law .
