Flemings Left Hand Rule

Also known as the Motor Rule this is a way of determining the direction of a force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field. The thumb, the first and the second fingers on the left hand are held so that they are at right angles to each other. If the first finger points in the direction of the magnetic field and the second finger the direction of the current in the wire, then the thumb will point in the direction of the force on the conductor.

Fleming's right hand rule

Fleming's right hand rule (for generators) shows the direction of when a conductor The right hand is held with the thumb, first finger and second finger mutually perpendicular to each other angles}, as shown in The Thumb represents the direction of Motion of the conductor. The First finger represents the direction of the Field. (north to south) The Second finger represents the direction of the induced or generated Current (the direction of the induced current will direction of conventional positive to negative).

One particular way of remembering the rule is the "FBI" acronym for Force(or motion), B as the magnetic field sign as the current. The subsequent letters correspond to subsequent fingers, from the top. Thumb -> F; Second finger -> I
