• Right hand grip rule

• Clock rule

• Fleming's left hand rule

b) based on the diagram above, choose the direction of the forces that act on the sides AB and CD of the coil.

• AB:UPWARD;CD:DOWNWARD

• AB:DOWNWARD;CD:UPWARD

Why might a current-carrying wire be placed between a magnetic field?

• To increase the current from the interaction of magnetic fields

• To increase the voltage from the interaction of magnetic fields

• To produce a force from the interaction of magnetic fields

c represented by

• direction of magnetic field

• direction of rotation

• direction of force

• direction of magnitude current

What is the functions of commutator?

• Reverse the direction of current in the coil every half rotation so that the coil continues to turn in same direction

• To contact with the commutator so the current from the battery enters the coil.

• Push the brush so it will always contact with the commutator.
