To build a simple motor, and analyze the relationship between current flow in a conductor in the form of a coil, the permanent and induced magnetic fields, and the resulting torque that turns the motor.
Sample data table in which to record observations of the effect of different strengths of the permanent magnet on the motor's spinning speed and spinning direction. Prepare your motor with one small cylindrical neodymium magnet place in the center of the battery.
Make a homopolar motor from a battery, magnet, and a piece of copper wire in this simple STEM activity.
build a simple electric motor and describe how it works; list some of the ways motors are used at home; explain the role generators play in producing electricity; describe the energy conversions that take place in a motor and generator; and. identify the similarities between motors and generators.
Activity 1: Building the simplest electric motor. Steps to building the motor. -Use the two rubber band to attach the bare copper wires to the plastic cup. -Clamp an alligator clip to one end of each of the bare copper wires.
motor, the spinning can be used to power something, like turn a wheel. As a follow-up activity, study how simple changes affect the motor’s rotation. Make predictions, test them, and record your results. You used technology to assist you in building a simple electric motor.
