WHAT DOES FLEMING'S RULES MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Fleming's left-hand rule for motors

Fleming's left-hand rule, and Fleming's right-hand rule are a pair of visual mnemonics. They were originated by John Ambrose Fleming, in the late 19th century, as a simple way of working out the direction of motion in an electric motor, or the direction of electric current in an electric generator. When current flows in a wire, and an external magnetic field is applied across that flow, the wire experiences a force perpendicular both to that field and to the direction of the current flow. A left hand can be held, as shown in the illustration, so as to represent three mutually orthogonal axes on the thumb, first finger and middle finger. Each finger is then assigned to a quantity. The right and left hand are used for generators and motors respectively.

Definition of Fleming's rules in the English dictionary

The definition of Fleming's rules in the dictionary is two rules used as mnemonics for the relationship between the directions of current flow, motion, and magnetic field in electromagnetic induction. The hand is held with the thumb, first, and second fingers at right angles, respectively indicating the directions of motion, field, and electric current. The left hand is used for electric motors and the right hand for dynamos.
