In today's lesson, we delve into the fascinating world of electric motors. Visualize a rectangular conducting loop in a uniform magnetic field – the key to motor magic. As we explore the loop's rotation, we decipher induced magnetic forces, using the right-hand rule to navigate the intricate dance of currents. Adding an insulated hinge, we unlock the loop's ability to angularly accelerate. Our dynamic trio – top, front, and side views – unfolds the loop's journey from initial to final positions, demystifying the net torque conundrum. Witness the basic concept of how electric motors operate, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. Join us for this electrifying ride into the fundamentals of electric motors! ⚙️✨
