    When a wire carrying a current is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a force due to the interaction between the magnetic fields from the current and the magnet. The magnitude of this force depends on the strength of the magnetic field, the amount of current, and the length of the conductor in the field. A coil carrying a current between two magnets will rotate due to turning forces from the magnetic fields; factors like increasing current, magnetic field strength, or coil turns affect the speed of rotation.

    Catapult Force

    When a wire carrying a current is placed inside a magnetic field, the wire experiences a force. The force is due to the interaction between the magnetic field produced by the current in the wire and the magnetic field of the permanent magnet.

    Factors Affecting the Magnitude of Force on a Current-carrying Conductor


    Strength of the magnetic field
    Stronger magnetic field, stronger the force on the conductor

    The magnitude of the current


    Larger the current, stronger the force on the conductor

    The length of the conductor in the magnetic field


    Longer the conductor, stronger the force on the conductor

    When a direct current flows through the coil, a pair of turning forces act on the coil. These turning forces, F are produced by the catapult field between the two permanent magnets. Factors to affect the speed of rotation of motor
    Increasing the current Increasing the strength of the magnetic field Increasing the number of turns
