Motors...

The goal for third term was to build a Non-Permanent Motor.  Through this project I was able to learn more about the magnetic field and how magnets repel and attract each other.  Through repelling and attracting there is motion created and this is what creates an electric/magnetic motor.  Our project was to construct a non-permanent motor. 

The Non-Permanent Motor:

 This is a temporary magnet which is also called an electromagnet.  The current creating the motor is passed through a wire.  This makes the motor temporary, you are able to stop the motor.  The green wire helps with the flow of the current through the motor

Permanent Motor:

 The permanent motor consists of a magnetic field, dealing with a north pole and a south pole, for the whole time.  The current also flows through the wire for this one.

Needed materials: Wire, Battery and Paper Clips

As I tried to build my motor i took a block of wood and curved two paper clips into a stand.  I then placed the battery between the two stands and made sure they were touching the sides.  Then I took some wire and looped it into many loops, yet I left ends on both sides of the loops.  The multiple of loops creates an increase in the current making the wire spin faster.  I also scratched off the coating on one side of the wire on the tips to create the opposition or the repelling.  The wire was then placed on the structure and the wire began to spin, a current was being created and the motor was working.
