Motor effect Flashcards
1
Q
What is the motor effect
A
When a current carrying conductor is placed perpendicular to a magnetic field, the conductor will experience a force which is perpendicular to both the direction of the current in the conductor and the magnetic field due to the magnet
2
Q
what is the force a result of
A
the interaction between the magnetic field due to the magnet and the magnetic field due to the current in the wire
3
Q
flemings left hand rule
A
used to predict the direction of the force once the direction of the current in the wire and that of the magnetic field are known
