Which finger shows the direction of current in Fleming's left hand rule?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
Fleming’s Left-Hand Rule is used to determine the direction of force, magnetic field, and current in a conductor carrying current in a magnetic field.
According to this rule, if you stretch the thumb, index finger, and middle finger of your left hand mutually perpendicular to each other:
• The Index finger represents the direction of the magnetic field (B).
• The Middle finger represents the direction of the current (I).
• The Thumb represents the direction of the force or motion (F) acting on the conductor.
Thus, in Fleming’s Left-Hand Rule, the middle finger shows the direction of current in the conductor.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: Middle finger.
According to this rule, if you stretch the thumb, index finger, and middle finger of your left hand mutually perpendicular to each other:

Thus, in Fleming’s Left-Hand Rule, the middle finger shows the direction of current in the conductor.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: Middle finger.
