What does the direction of thumb indicate in the right-hand thumb rule? In what way this rule is different from Freming's left-hand rule?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In right-hand thumb rule, thumb indicates the direction of current in the straight current-carrying current. The curled fingers holding the conductor give the direction of field lines. Fleming's left-hand rule gives the direction of force experienced by a current-carrying straight conductor placed in an external magnetic field.
