5/12/2014 Motors and Magnetic Field

Magnetic Motor
We connect the power supply to the motor and it began to spin.  When we reversed the direction of current it began to spin in the opposite direction.  


Homemade Magnetic Motor
We created a magnetic motor by using a copper wire, magnets, two paperclips, and a power supply. First we wrapped the wire as show in picture, then sanded 360 degrees of one lead of the wire and 180 degrees of the other lead to remove the paint on it. We attached the paper clips on the table and placed a magnet in between. Finally, we connect the power supply to the paperclips and rested the wire leads between the loops. When we turned on the power supply it began to spin which is caused by the current and magnetic field.
