Can anybody explain me in which direction the electic current will flow in a cunductor kept in a changing electomagnetic field as described below,
A thin wire shape conductor is kept perpendiculer to the direction of field generated by an electromagnet. Assum that magnetic field is along the 'x' axis, conducter is placed along the 'y' axis
now if we change the current in electromagnet coil or put the current on or off than it will change the magnetic flux and a current will be generated in conductor.
We all know the fleming's low and lenz's law, as per my understanding of these laws, current can flow either in 'y' to '-y' derection or from '-y' to 'y' direction which will generate a thrust in z or -z direction depending on the direction of current.
Can we predict the direction of current in cunductor before changing the magnetic flux ?
or it is just a matter of chance which will decide the direction of currrent ?
thanks in advance
