LHR #3 Generator Effect

The third left hand rule for generators is used to determine the direction of the induced electron flow in a moving wire. The thumb points in the direction of wire motion, the fingers points in the direction of the magnetic field, and the palm indicates the direction of induced electron flow.



Remember, all components act at right angles to each other
