In an electric motor a magnetic field causes a current carrying LOOP to spin true or False?

True. In an electric motor, a magnetic field causes a current-carrying loop to experience a torque that makes it spin. This spinning motion is the basis of how electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.


Why does the coil have to be balanced on an electric motor?

It will be spinning at high revolutions.


Why part of an electric motor controls the flipping of the direction of electrons?

The commutator in an electric motor controls the flipping of the direction of electrons. It is a rotating switch that reverses the direction of the current flowing through the coils, which in turn changes the direction of the magnetic field and causes the motor to continue spinning in the same direction.


How simple motor works?

A simple motor works by passing an electric current through a coil of wire, creating a magnetic field. This magnetic field interacts with a permanent magnet to generate a force that causes the coil to spin. This spinning motion is what drives the motor to perform its function.


Why does the drill bit get hot on an electric drill?

Because the spinning motion produces friction which causes it to heat up!


Example of energy transformation from electrical to mechanical?

When an electric current passes through a motor, it generates a magnetic field that interacts with the motor's components. This interaction causes the motor to produce mechanical motion, such as rotating a shaft or spinning a fan. In this process, electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy.


What is the overheating voltage of an electric motor?

Motors overheat due to excessive current, not necessarily voltage. Normal voltage can cause a motor to overheat if it is stuck (not spinning). The problem is not usually the voltage, but whatever is causing excessive current flow (usually because the motor is not spinning like it is supposed to).


In this electric motor an electric current causes the coil to rotate changing?

In this electric motor, an electric current flowing through the coil interacts with the magnetic field, generating a force that causes the coil to rotate. This rotation changes the direction of the magnetic field around the coil, which in turn causes the coil to keep rotating in the same direction.


Is there any example for electric motors?

You probably have one in your computer - any spinning disk uses a motor to spin (hard drives, DVD/CD drives, Floppy drives, etc.). If you have a phone that has that can vibrate, it has a small motor (the motor's rotor, or the center part that spins, has a small weight on it that is off-center - this is what causes the vibrations). Most fans are electric motors (air conditioning/heating fan in your car, etc.).


Will running a motor backwards generate power?

No. Motors can be run in either direction, clockwise or counter clockwise. However, mechanically spinning an electric motor will generate electric power.


Why won't your washing machine start spinning?

Possible causes: Motor is bad (can you hear the motor run?) Belt the from the motor to pulley/drum is worn or broke Bad timer or control unit


What causes the axle to spin in an electric motor?

Switching the field voltage to the coils forces the magnets to move.
