Electric Motor Basics

The video tutorial explains the behavior of a rectangular conducting loop in a uniform magnetic field. It covers the orientation of the loop, the flow of current, and the use of the right-hand rule to determine magnetic forces. The tutorial also discusses the net torque acting on the loop, its rotation around an axis, and the final position of the loop. Finally, it connects these concepts to the basic operation of electric motors, highlighting the conversion of electrical energy to mechanical energy.
