The motor affect

• what is the motor effect

  when two magnets interact, a magnetic force (of attraction/repulsion) is felt

  so a magnet and a wire must also exert a force, as the two magnetic fields will also interact

  • the magnetic field around a wire is circular, but the magnetic field between two magnets is straight
  • when the two interact, the wire is pushed away from the field between the poles
• what is Flemings left hand rule

  when you have: force, field, current

  each direction is 90* to each other

  (current is conventional current - moves in the opposite direction to the electrons)
• what is magnetic flux density measured in

  tesla
