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!

When electric currents runs through a loop of wire it makes and what?

When an electric current runs through a loop of wire, it generates a magnetic field around the wire. This phenomenon is known as electromagnetism.


How can I make a simple electric motor for a science fair project?

To make a simple electric motor for a science fair project, you will need a battery, a magnet, insulated wire, a small piece of cardboard, and a paperclip. Wind the wire around the cardboard to create a coil, attach the ends of the wire to the battery terminals, and place the magnet next to the coil. When the battery is connected, the coil will spin due to the interaction between the electric current and the magnetic field, creating a simple electric motor.


What causes the coil of wire to spin inside the motor?

When an electric current flows through the coil of wire, it creates a magnetic field. This interacts with the magnetic field produced by the stationary magnets in the motor, causing the coil to experience a rotating force known as torque, which makes the coil spin.


What is some conclusions for how to make a simple electric motor?

To make a simple electric motor, you will need a battery, copper wire, a magnet, and a base to hold the motor. By winding the copper wire around the base and connecting it to the battery, you create an electromagnet. When the base is placed between the poles of the magnet, the electromagnet will interact with the magnetic field to spin the motor. This simple motor demonstrates how electrical energy can be converted into mechanical motion.


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?

The wire in an electric motor is coiled to create a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it. This magnetic field interacts with other magnetic fields in the motor, causing the motor to rotate. Coiling the wire helps increase the strength of the magnetic field and improves the motor's efficiency.


A device that produces an electric current by rotating a loop of wire in a magnetic field?

This device is called an electric generator. When the loop of wire rotates in the magnetic field, electromagnetic induction occurs, producing an electric current in the wire. Generators are commonly used in power plants to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.


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.


How can produce an electric current by means of electric magnetic induction?

Create relative motion between a magnetic field and a loop of wire.
