The motor effect

The force on a current in a magnetic field, Fleming's left-hand rule, F = BIl with the tesla, and why the coil of a motor keeps turning.

You will be able to

  • Find the direction of the force with Fleming's left-hand rule
  • Calculate the force with F = BIl, changing mT, mA and cm first (Higher)
  • Explain how a d.c. motor turns and what makes it faster
