What is it called when a mechanical energy to electrical energy by rotating a coil of wire through a magnetic field?
An electric motor
What happens when electric current passes through a coil of wire?
A magnetic field generates around the wire.
Why does the wire on an electric motor have to be coiled?
To form the magnetic field that rotates the motor. :)
How do you change electrical energy to kinetic energy?
Generally this is done via an electric motor, which is a shaft suspended (centered, free to rotate on a bearing or slide on a linear path) within a coil of wire. When current is passed through the wire coil, a magnetic field is produced, which acts on the motor shaft, inclining it to rotate or slide, depending on setup. This force is proportional to to the current in the coil, and the resulting motion of the shaft can be observed as having kinetic energy.
Name Length of wire wound in a spiral to conduct electric current?
it is known as coil
What is it called when a mechanical energy to electrical energy by rotating a coil of wire through a magnetic field?
An electric motor
Can an electric motor work without a magnet?
Most electric motors require magnet to operate on the principal of attraction. A motor can operate without any permanents magnets by replacing the with another coil of wire.
What is a coil of wire in a motor called?
armature
How does a motor utilize magnetism in its operation?
If you have a coil of wire and pass a magnet trough it it will generate electricity in the coil. Similarly if you put a magnet in a coil of wire and pass electricity through the coil the magnet will move. An electric motor operates on the second principle - a rotor fitted with coils of wire is placed in side a cylinder formed from magnets and electricity is passed though the wire coils (from attachments on the rotor called brushes) and the rotor is made to spin. If however you take the same motor and mechanically spin the rotor then the reverse happens and electricity is generated - the motor becomes a dynamo.
What is a magnet created when electric current flows through a coil of wire?
A magnet created when electric current flows through a coil of wire is called an electromagnet.
A coil of wire with an electric current in it is called?
electromagnet
What houses magnets and coil and copper wire?
An electric motor. In a motor the coil spins within the magenetic field producing mechanical energy. In a generator the magnet spins within a coil to produce electricity. in either case the magnets can be either solid fixed magents or electromagnetic coils.
An electric motor turns because the electricity passing through its coils produces?
An electric motor turns because its coils are present between the poles of a strong magnet or electromagnet. Whenever a current passes through a wire in a magnetic field, the wire moves. The electromagnet and the copper coils are arranged in such a manner that when a current passes through the coil an armature linked to the coil rotates.
How do you hook a Pro comp distributor to motor With a exturnal coil?
red (+) wire to possitive side of coil- Black (-) wire to negative side of coil. thats it.
What is the rotating coil in an electric motor called?
The part that rotates inside of an electric motor is called the rotor.
Why does the coil have to be balanced on an electric motor?
It will be spinning at high revolutions.
How can sound be changed into electric current?
The most common way is with a magnet and a coil of wire. Have either the magnet or the coil (it doesn't matter which) fixed in place and the other one attached to a membrane that will vibrate with the sound. When a magnet moves past a coil of wire, it causes an electric current in the wire.
