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 does the thumb indicate in flemings left hand rule?
Force
Motion
Current
Magnetic field direction
What direction is the force/motion in the following diagram?
Perpendicular to the magnets
Downwards
Parallel and through the magnets
Name the effect that causes a coil of current-carrying wire in an electric motor to move.
The electromagnetism effect
The magnetic effect
The motor effect
Which rule can be used to work out which way a coil of wire rotates in a motor?
Fleming's left-hand rule
Fleming's right-hand rule
Give two ways you can reverse the direction of a basic dc motor?
Reverse the current
Keep the current the same
Reverse the magnetic field
Keep the magnetic field the same
How does a split ring commutator work?
Swaps the contact evert full turn, so that the left-hand and right-hand arms of the coil always experience a force in the same direction.
Swaps the contact evert half turn, so that the left-hand and right-hand arms of the coil do not experience a force in the same direction.
Swaps the contact evert half turn, so that the left-hand and right-hand arms of the coil always experience a force in the same direction.
