Fleming's left hand rule helps determine the direction of the force, with thumb representing force, index finger magnetic field, and middle finger current.
To apply the rule, keep the fingers fixed in a specific position, allowing movement only at the wrist, elbows, and shoulders.
The thumb indicates the direction of the force, the index finger the magnetic field, and the middle finger the current.
When a straight conductor, like a wire, is placed in a magnetic field, the direction of the current and field determines the force's direction.

Overloading happens when a circuit carries more current than its capacity, potentially causing fires.
To prevent overloading, the MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) automatically trips to cut off the circuit.
Parallel circuits are preferred over series circuits due to consistent voltage, individual switches for each appliance, and continued operation if one device fails.
In parallel installations, if one appliance malfunctions, others continue working without disrupting the circuit.
