Magnets in motors do not push or pull each other at all. When electricity is passing through the copper wire of the Rotor, (the rotating part of the motor and shaft) the magnetism of the fixed magnet, forces the copper wires in the Rotor, to move away from the magnet. This force created by the combination of current in the copper wire, and the magnetic field of the magnet; creates a force strong enough to cause the rotor to move away from the magnet. The overall outcome is that the rotor starts to rotate permanently . This force is referred to as the electro- magnetic field force. If you use more separate magnets you will get more power out of the motor. It is common for larger motors to have 8 or more permanent magnets in them, but they do not push or pull against each other. They actually push the copper wires, providing the wires carry electricity.

Was magnets always called magnets?

First of all magnets were found naturally in a place called magnesia. the natural magnet is sometimes called leading stones. and also because it is found in magnesia the name magnetite is given for it.means magnets can also be named as magnetite, sometimes leading stones.


What is the term given to magnets made of iron cobalt nickel or alloys of those metals?

They are called ferromagnets or permanent magnets. They are also called man-made or synthetic magnets. If you're on A+, the correct answer is ferromagnets. - Dawn Ayers


What is it called wen 2 magnets push away?

When two magnets push away from each other, it is called repulsion. This occurs because the magnetic fields produced by the magnets interact in such a way that they repel each other.


How can magnets push?

Remember that push or pull is force. Magnetic can be a push or pull because magnets has a kind of attraction force that attracts objects to itself and can also repel objects from itself. If we take two magnets into action we can demonstrate bothphenomenons. Magnets have a north and south pole, if we make face a south and a north pole of the magnets they will eventually attract each other and will stick together and if we make face the north pole of one magnet to the other north pole of the magnet they repeal (push) each other apart. Remember that this phenomenons of magnetic attractions are not applied to every single thing but limited to its opponent or limited to the objects that it can apply the push or pull strategy.

What is it called when magnets push apart?

the pushing apart of magnets is known as repulsion as they are pushing away from each other. The opposite to this is attraction


What is the pulling or pushing force that exists around a magnet called?

It's called magnetism.


What is the force called for pulling or pushing an object?

The force for pulling or pushing an object is called "mechanical force" or simply "force". This force is responsible for moving or stopping an object and is typically measured in units of newtons.


What is the force called pushing up?

The force pushing up is called the normal force. It is exerted upwards by a surface to support an object placed on it and counteract the force of gravity pulling the object downwards.


What is the pulling or pushing force from a magnet?

The force that binds us is not very static. It's something transcending electromagnetic. (From one of my favorite love sonnets). Is the force what? There are four fundamental forces: Strong nuclear, weak nuclear, electromagnetism (light, radio, heat, magnetism, etc.), and the weakest of the four: gravity.

What is the name for the highest speed when falling?

The highest speed when falling is called terminal velocity. This occurs when the force of gravity pulling an object down is balanced by the force of air resistance pushing against it, resulting in a constant speed.


How do toys move?

Toys moving from people pushing or pulling them is called air force. Some toys move via remote controls.


When you push against an object the force you apply is called?

When you push against an object, the force you apply is called the applied force. This force is the external force exerted on the object by you pushing against it.


What is it called when gravity and air resistance of a falling object are balanced?

When gravity and air resistance of a falling object are balanced, it is called terminal velocity. At this point, the object falls at a constant speed because the force of gravity pulling it down is equal to the force of air resistance pushing back against it.
