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.


How does the diameter of wire coil affect the amount of electricity?

The diameter of the coil affects the amount of electricity as longer the coil longer the electricity.

What happens when electric current passes through a coil of wire?

A magnetic field generates around the wire.


Will Dragging a magnet through a wire coil will create electricity?

Yes. That peculiar action weill create a current in the coil for as long as you keep the magnet moving.


What happens when a magnet is moved towards a coil?

You will generate electricity. As the wire cuts through the magnetic field.As the magnet is moved, there will be an induced electro-motive force (EMF) which can cause a current in the coil. Once the magnet stops moving, the current will go to zero.


What must move in a coil of wire to make electricity?

A conductor


Why must you use insulated copper wire for coil of an electromagnet?

So the wire doesn't short itself out. The electricity needs to go through all the windings individually.


Can you create electricy from a magnet?

The standard way of generating electricity is moving a wire coil through a magnetic field. So yes
