Make a rule: If you have studied how currents induce magnetic fields, you

may recall the right-hand rule, illustrated at right. For electric currents,
the thumb represents the direction of positive charge (I) and the fingers
represent the induced magnetic field (B).

To describe the electric field induced by a moving magnet, you can use a “left-hand rule.” What do the thumb and fingers of your left hand represent in this case?

In the left-hand rule for describing the electric field induced by a moving magnet, the thumb represents the direction of the magnetic field (B) and the fingers represent the direction of the induced electric field.
