Hi again,
I was browsing for detailed info about induced emf and induced current in generators while found this interesting article :
I've found this page , with very good clear explanation :
https://www.cmm.gov.mo/eng/exhibition/secondfloor/moreinfo/2_4_1_ACGenerator.html
Except for one thing ,
the direction of induced currents on the image below :

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What about the direction of induced current?
Should we follow the right hand rule in determining direction of induced current?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Going Back to initial image :

Lets consider the "dark (grey)" conductor of the half-loop that is rotating inside the magnetic field
From 0 degree to 180 degree : "the grey" conductor is going in downward direction.
--->>>> If we follow right hand rule the direction of induced current should be exactly opposite to the direction, shown on the picture.
Found similar issues in many other sites.
Which is correct ?
Thank you.
