A clockwise motor runs clockwise because of the way it is made. It is designed to run clockwise because the designer has an application that calls for clockwise rotation.
A counter-clockwise motor runs the other way, again because of the way it is made. Many electric motors are reversible. If you are looking at something and it's clockwise - turn it over and it's anticlockwise!

On a 220 volt electric motor which is the neutral wire L1 L2 or L3?
If the motor wire numbers are L1, L2 and L3, it is not a single phase motor. It is a three phase motor. Also for future reference, a 220 volt single phase motor does not use a neutral.
How much copper in a 100 HP electric motor 100 HP electric Chicago air compressor motor?
The amount of copper in a particular motor is not determined by horsepower only, there is no relationship between the total weight of MAGNET WIRE to the HORSEPOWER of an electric motor. Determining factors are the vintage, frame, make, speed, and frame designation.
What are the difference between a wire loop and a wire needle?

What causes a magnetic field to be set up around a wire?
Passing an electric current through a wire will produce an external magnetic field. This is because the electrons have spin and this spin is what produces the field. Spinning electrons (of certain characteristics) also produce the magnetic field of permanent magnets. And no spinning electrons, no magnetic field.
What is produced when a magnetic field moves relative to a closed wire loop?
Faraday says you will induce a current in the wire.
When the electric current runs through the wire loop of a motor it makes a?
Circuit
When electric currents runs through a loop of wire it makes and what?
insulator
How do you use electricfan?
The motor has a coil of wire that is an electromagnet. This causes the motor to spin, turning the fan blades.
Why does the wire on an electric motor have to be coiled?
To form the magnetic field that rotates the motor. :)
A device that produces an electric current by rotating a loop of wire in a magnetic field?
That's how every electric generator works.
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.
Why does a generator work?
When a conductive loop is moved through a magnetic field, an electric current is produced in the wire loop. This is the basis of electrical generators.
Do magnets make electricity?
No. Magnets create an electric feild, not electricity.However, when you spin a magnet inside a coil of wire (or you can spin the coil of wire instead), you will create an electrical current.
Electromagnetic Induction states that moving a magnet through a loop of wire creates what?
Electric current
How can produce an electric current by means of electric magnetic induction?
Create relative motion between a magnetic field and a loop of wire.
What causes the coil of wire to spin inside the motor?
what caused the motors to turn faster
What describes the production of an electric current by moving a loop of wire through a magnetic field or moving a magnet through a wire loop?
moving a loop of wire through a magnetic Field. The rotation of a coil of copper wire trough a magnetic field changes magnetic field as "seen" from the coil inducing an alternating current.
