Why did this simple electric motor work?
The current from the battery induces a magnetic field in the copper loop, turning it into an electromagnet that repels from/attracts to the permanent magnet
The electromagnet on top of the battery pulls on the magnetic copper wire
The magnet induces a current in the copper loop which makes it rotate.
The magnetic field from the battery induces an electric current in the copper loop, turning it into an electromagnet that repels from/attracts to the permanent magnet
What conclusion can you draw from this graph?
As current increases, magnetic strength decreases.
As current increases, magnetic strength increases.
As current decreases, magnetic strength increases.
There is no relationship between current and magnetic strength.
