Force on a Current Carrying Conductor in Magnetic 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 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.
