Motors & the Motor Effect

Science · Forces & Motion · conceptual

Explain the motor effect as the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field, and describe how this principle is used in electric motors and loudspeakers

Sign in to track this

What mastery looks like

  • Explains that a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field experiences a force (the motor effect)
  • Predicts how reversing the current or reversing the magnetic field affects the direction of the force
  • Describes how the motor effect is applied in an electric motor and in a loudspeaker

Check your understanding

If Motors & the Motor Effect looked inside an electric motor or the back of a loudspeaker, could they explain why the coil of wire moves — and what would happen to the movement if you reversed the direction of the current?
