Q. State Fleming’s left-hand rule.

Ans: Fleming's left-hand rule is used to find the direction of the force acting on the current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field.

It states that  if we arrange our thumb, forefinger and middle finger of the right-hand perpendicular to each other, then the thumb points towards the direction of the motion of the conductor relative to the magnetic field, the forefinger points towards the direction of the magnetic field and the middle finger points towards the direction of the induced current.
