Can you tell me why, in Flemings right hand rule for generators (and left hand rule for motors), why does the resultant Current (middle finger) travel at right angles to ALL the other Newtonian forces in the mechanical system(Flux North to South:Index, conductor path: Thumb.)This rule is fact, but the REASON it is true seems to have escaped even the best of my resources. Please feel free to admit that you don`t know for sure. I have a gut feeling that no one knows for SURE or maybe it falls into the domain of quantum mechanics or conservation of angular momentum on an atomic scale but the resultant current travels perpendicular to flux lines AND conductor movement. Why? And why in only that direction?
