- The Motor Effect
- The force experienced by a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field
- Size of force increases by
- Increase the current
- Stronger magnet
- Size of force depends on angle between wire and magnetic field lines; the force is:
- Greates t when wire is perpendicular to magnetic field
- 0 when wire is parallel to magnetic field
- Direction of force reversed if direction of current/magnetic field is reversed
- LEFT HAND RULE:
- thuMb = Motion
- First finger = Field
- seCond finger = Current
- First finger = Field
- thuMb = Motion
