Electric Motor Build - Make a simple electric motor

The video tutorial explains the working of a simple electric motor, detailing its components such as the stator, rotor, shaft, and commutator. It describes how magnetic fields interact with electric currents to cause rotation, using concepts like Fleming's left-hand rule. The tutorial also provides step-by-step instructions for building a motor, including materials and assembly techniques, emphasizing the importance of reversing current direction to maintain rotation.
