    Fleming's hand rules provide a memory aid for determining the relationships between electric current, magnetic fields, and motion in conductors. There are four groups of rules: 1) those relating current flow and magnetic fields around a conductor, 2) those relating current flow and magnetic poles in a solenoid, 3) those relating motion in a magnetic field to generated current (generators), and 4) those relating applied current and magnetic fields to force and motion (motors). The rules involve using the right or left hand to represent different orientations and determine the resulting direction or effect.

    Flemings Hand Rules


    There are several hand rules that are quite useful for remembering various electromagnetic
    relationships and they are divided into four groups:
    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.

    Hand thumb rules along a conductor


    Hand thumb rules for solenoid and electromagnetic poles
    Hand generator effect rules
    Hand motor principle rules

    It is important to know that the hand rules that are based on current flow (conventional current
    direction) and the hand flows that are based on electron flow (actual direction of electron
    movement) will be the EXACT opposite.
    The four rules are explained below:

    Flemings Right Hand Thumb Rule

    Flemings right hand thumb rule states that if the right hand is used to grasp a conducting wire
    with the thumb in the direction of the current flow, the fingers will indicate the direction of the
    magnetic field lines of force surrounding the conductor

    Flemings Right Hand Solenoid and Electromagnetic Rule

    In this rule, the thumb is the direction of north pole and the fingers are conventional current or
    electron flow. When a conductor is looped to form a coil, the magnetic fields from both sides
    join to double the magnetic field strength inside the loop. A solenoid is a helix coil through
    which current is flowing; it uses the coil loops to produce a greatly strengthened magnetic field.

    Flemings Right Hand Generator Rule

    Flemings Right Hand Rule is used when you are referring to generators. This rule states that if
    the thumb points in the direction the conductor (or armature) is moving and the index finger
    points in the direction of the magnetic lines of force field, then the middle finger will indicate
    the direction of the conventional current.

    Flemings Left Hand Motor Rule

    Flemings left hand rule is used when referring to motors. The rule states that if the index finger
    points in the direction of the magnetic lines of force field and the middle finger points in the
    direction of the conventional current, the thumb will indicate the direction that the conductor
    will move. So,

    The Relationship between Electricity and Magnets


    Magnetic fields are produced by moving charges, current, and moving charges are
    affected by magnets.
    Any moving charge produces a magnetic field
    When current flows in a conductor, a magnetic field is created around the conductor
    As current goes up, so does the magnetic field strength. Conversely, a magnetic field in
    motion creates electric current
    Electrical current can generate a magnetic field.
    There are three ways to create the motion between lines of force and a conductor
    1. Move the conductor through a stationary, unchanging-strength magnetic field.
    2. Move magnetic lines of force through a stationary conductor with an
    unchanging-strength magnetic field
    3. Vary the magnetic flux strength from a stationary magnet through a stationary
    conductor. As the flux strength varies, the lines of force will expand and contract,
    in effect causing the relative motion necessary to induce current.
