Clockwise is the direction of rotation of something. When looking at the face of a clock or watch, the hands move or rotate from the top, down toward the right, then straight down before moving upward to the left and then returning to the top. Clockwise is the opposite of counterclockwise or anticlockwise, when the hands move from the top, down toward the left, then straight down, then upward to the right, and then back to the top.

What is clock wise?

Turning something 'clockwise' would be turning it in the direction the hands on a clock turns. 'Counter-clockwise' would be turning it the opposite direction of a clock.

Why does the wire loop in an electric motor spin?

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!
