Answer
When a conductor is moved in a varying magnetic field, then Fleming's right hand rule determines the direction of current induced in the conductor.
Fleming's right hand rule — Stretch the thumb, central finger and forefinger of your right hand mutually perpendicular to each other. If the forefinger indicates the direction of magnetic field and the thumb indicates the direction of motion of the conductor, then the central finger will indicate the direction of induced current.
