Design and Technology Level 2 Electric Motor

Design and Technology Level 2

Electric Motor

Electric Motors are used everywhere around us, in Fans, Refrigerators, CD Players, and so on
.
Students constructed a model of an Electric Motor.

An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. If a current carrying conductor (in this case, a copper coil), is placed in an external magnetic field (represented by the magnet), a force is produced, which rotates the coil.
