(N/A) Electromagnetic induction: It is the phenomenon of generating an induced electromotive force $(EMF)$ or potential difference in a conductor due to a change in the magnetic field linked with a coil.
Fleming's Right-Hand Rule: Stretch the thumb,forefinger,and middle finger of your right hand such that they are mutually perpendicular to each other. If the forefinger points in the direction of the magnetic field and the thumb points in the direction of the motion of the conductor,then the middle finger indicates the direction of the induced current in the conductor.
