Turning Effect of a Current-carrying Coil in a Magnetic Field
1. Consider a current-carrying coil ABCD placed between the poles magnet as shown in the
igure below.
2. As the current lows through the coil rom A to D! an "... #1$ orce acts on the
arm CD whereas a #3$ orce acts on the arms AB according to
%leming&s 'et (and rule.
3. Draw the catapult iled ormed and draw arrows to show the mo)ement o arms AB and CD.

Factors t!at affect t!e speed of rotation of an electric motor
9. 2he magnitude o orce acting on a conductor in a magnetic increases by,

2he angle o delection
is directly proportional
to the current lows in
the coil
