What is the process by which magnetic force can move motors? How can I explain this? Thank you!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

The principle of electric motors is very simple. Their operation, is based on the electromagneti interaction, between a current and a magnetic field

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay:) i follow so far!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that all that is needed to explain the process which they move motors? just that electromagnetic interaction between a current and a magnetic field determines which magnetic forces can move the motors?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

SUbstantially, that interaction is as below: |dw:1432662856354:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the magnetic force is the resultant effect of a conductor (with a current into it) which is located inside a magnetic filed

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

an electric motor is, substantially, composed by two main parts: 1) the rotor, which has more conductors 2) a stator, which has many electromagnets, which produce the necessary magnetic field, in order to get the operation of the electric motor

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

When a current flows into the conductors, which are located into the rotor, those current, interacts, with the magnetic field produced by the electromagnets located around the stator, so a rotation of the rotor will result from that magnetic interaction

ohh okay!! so is that all? or is there more? :O

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have finished!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!! thank you:D

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

thank you!! :D
