With the Simple Electromagnetic Motor, demonstrate the basic principles of electromagnetism using a bit of wire, a magnet, a metal support stand, and a battery.
The world’s simplest motor! Demonstrate the basic principles of electromagnetism with a bit of wire, a magnet, metal support stand, and a battery. Electricity runs through the wire to create a magnetic field that interacts with the magnet to turn the coil around, which turns around again and so on. Requires one D battery, which is available separately.
