-The motor effect is the effect at which a current carrying wire/conductor is put between magnetic poles.
-The wire interacts with the magnetic field which exerts a force on both the wire and the magnetic field
-This can cause the wire to move
How does the wire need to be positioned to feel the full force of the magnetic field and why?
-The wire must be positioned at a right angle/90 degrees
-This will allow for maximum interaction between the wire and magnetic field
Name the 3 factors that affect the force on the wire?
-Increasing/decreasing current flowing through the wire
-using stronger/weaker magnets
-Positioning of the wire at 90 degrees is optimal
If the Magnetic field lines and Conductor are parallel what is the force acted upon the wire and magnetic field?
-As they are parallel there is no force exerted on each other as the magnetic fields are not interacting
If the magnetic field lines are perpendicular to the conductor how strong will the force that acts on them be?
-As they are perpendicular / 90 degrees the force that acts on them will be as strong as they can be not including the other factors that effect the force.
What can a wire with current flowing through it be called as?
- A Current-Carrying Conductor
True or False A current carrying wire produces its own magnetic field?
-TRUE
the current carrying wire has a separate magnetic field which then interacts with another magnetic field to produce a force which is the motor effect
