The video explains how electric motors work by demonstrating the interaction between wires carrying electric current and magnetic fields. It covers the motor effect, where wires are pushed due to magnetic field interactions, and how this linear motion is converted into circular motion using a spindle. The video also introduces the split ring commutator, which ensures consistent current direction in a spinning coil.

How does looping the wire around many times affect the turning force on the motor?

What is the role of a split ring commutator in an electric motor?
