Electric Motor: How Current and Magnetic Fields Cause Rotation

The video tutorial explains the motor effect, where a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field experiences a force, leading to rotation. It details how electric motors use this effect, describing the role of magnetic fields, conducting rings, and split rings in motor operation. Fleming's left hand rule is used to determine force direction, ensuring continuous rotation.

What is the significance of the magnetic field direction in the operation of an electric motor?

What happens to the forces acting on the conducting ring when it is parallel to the magnetic field?

Explain the process that allows the conducting ring to continually rotate in one direction.
