Question

Direction of rotation of a coil in electric motor is determined by ____________.

Options

• Fleming’s right-hand rule

• Fleming’s left-hand rule

• Faraday law of electromagnetic inductors

• None of above

Answer 1

The direction of rotation of a coil in an electric motor is determined by Fleming’s left-hand rule.

Explanation:

Fleming's left-hand rule determines the direction of the force on a wire. When a coil of current-carrying wire rotates due to its presence in a magnetic field, this is known as the motor effect.
