    Fleming’s Left Hand Rule states that if the left hand is stretched in a way that the index finger, the middle finger and the thumb are in mutually perpendicular directions; then the index finger and middle finger of a stretched left hand show the direction of magnetic field and direction of electric current respectively and the thumb shows the direction of motion or force acting on the conductor. The directions of electric current, magnetic field and force are similar to three mutually perpendicular axes, i.e. x, y and z axes.

  2. This question can be solved by using Fleming’s Left Hand Rule. We know that the direction of current is opposite to the direction of electron’s movement and hence it would be same as the direction of proton’s movement. So, the direction of current is towards west. As per Fleming’s Left Hand Rule; thRead more

    This question can be solved by using Fleming’s Left Hand Rule. We know that the direction of current is opposite to the direction of electron’s movement and hence it would be same as the direction of proton’s movement. So, the direction of current is towards west. As per Fleming’s Left Hand Rule; the middle finger shows the direction of current, the forefinger shows the direction of magnetic field and the thumb shows the direction of motion. Here, the deflection is towards north, i.e. in north westerly direction and hence, the direction of magnetic field would be towards north, i.e. upward.

  3. (c) and (d), i.e. velocity and mass of proton change when it enters a magnetic field. When a proton enters a magnetic field it starts moving on a circular path. Because of its movement along a circular path it attains angular momentum. We know that momentum is a product of mass and velocity.

  4. current is flowing clockwise through a circular loop. The direction of magnetic field around the conductor can be known by using the right hand thumb rule. As the figure shows, the magnetic field would be towards the plane of the paper when it is inside the loop. On the other hand, the magnetic fielRead more

    current is flowing clockwise through a circular loop. The direction of magnetic field around the conductor can be known by using the right hand thumb rule. As the figure shows, the magnetic field would be towards the plane of the paper when it is inside the loop. On the other hand, the magnetic field would be away from the paper when it is outside the loop.
