Answer
View full question & answer→i. a. Right hand thumb rule will determine the direction of a magnetic field around a straight conductor carrying current.
b. Fleming's left had rule will determine the direction of a force experienced by a current-carrying straight conductor placed in a magnetic field which is perpendicular to it.
c. Fleming's right hand rule will determine the direction of current induced in a coil due to its rotation in a magnetic field.
ii. a. The right-hand thumb rule is used to find the directions of the magnetic field around a current-carrying straight conductor.
b. Fleming's left-hand rule (motor rule): helps in understanding the direction of the magnetic force acting on a conductor.
c. Fleming's right-hand rule (dynamo rule) helps in understanding the direction of induced current when a conductor moves in a magnetic field.
