Reorder the following statements to explain the function of a motor.

• A coil of wire with a current passing through it has a magnetic field around it

• This interacts with a permanent magnetic field from a magnet near the coil

• This causes a force on the coil of wire

• Finally, a commutator allows current to continue to flow into the coil as it spins

• The coil turns

The motor effect states that a ​ (a)   conductor in a magnetic field will experience a​ (b)  

• current carrying
• copper
• thin
• force
• current
• field

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

What does the thumb indicate in flemings left hand rule?

• Force

• Motion

• Current

• Magnetic field direction

What direction is the force/motion in the following diagram?

• Perpendicular to the magnets

• Downwards

• Parallel and through the magnets

What angle must there be between a magnetic field and a conductor in order for the maximum force to be exerted?

• 180

• 45

• 90

• 270

Name one factor that does not affect the size of a force in on a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field?

• Gravity

• Magnetic flux density/size of magnetic field

• Size of the current

• Length of the conductor

Name the effect that causes a coil of current-carrying wire in an electric motor to move.

• The electromagnetism effect

• The magnetic effect

• The motor effect

Which rule can be used to work out which way a coil of wire rotates in a motor?

• Fleming's left-hand rule

• Fleming's right-hand rule

Give two ways you can reverse the direction of a basic dc motor?

• Reverse the current

• Keep the current the same

• Reverse the magnetic field

• Keep the magnetic field the same
