help asap? Explain the process by which magnetic force can move motors.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Moving charged particles are deflected by a magnetic field. Since the particles have mass, there must be a force to cause the change of direction. The force acts only while a charged particle is moving within a magnetic field. Electric current in a conductor consists of a flow of charged particles, electrons, moving with a net velocity. When these particles move through a magnetic field, they experience a force, but are constrained by being inside the conductor. The force is therefore transferred to the conductor, causing it to move relative to the external magnetic field. An electric motor is a device that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy by using the motor effect.
