If we use the left hand rule on the electron flow, we point our fingers in the direction of the field and our thumb in the direction of electron movement and the palm of our hand indicates the direction of the force – UP !

It explains Lenz's Law, which states that the induced current generates a magnetic field opposing the initial motion. This principle also applies to electric motors that produce back electromotive force opposing the original current.
