In the electric motor lab, what did you attempt to demonstrate with the electric motor?

Electric motor is a device which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The motor works on the principle that a coil carrying current experiences a torque when placed in a magnetic field. The torque causes the coil to rotate in the magnetic field.

An electric motor has a rectangular frame on which many turns of insulated wire is wound. The ends of the wire are connected to a source that sends current through the coil of wire. The coil is placed in between the pole pieces of a strong magnet. When current flows through the coil, the coil starts to rotate.

The rotational motion of the coil can be used to run fans, operate pumps or for other purposes that would require rotation.

Thus, the electric motor, utilizes the electrical energy provided to it and converts into mechanical energy.
