Both MAGNETS and CURRENT-CARRYING CONDUCTING WIRES create their own MAGNETIC FIELD.
Therefore, when a CURRENT-CARRYING CONDUCTOR is placed in a magnetic field of a MAGNET, both fields INTERACT with each other to create a FORCE. This is known as the MOTOR EFFECT.
The MAGNITUDE of the force can be INCREASED by:
To calculate the MAGNITUDE of the force, you can use the following equation:
Where:
