Motor effect and Fleming's rule
What you need to know
Understand that a current-carrying conductor positioned within a magnetic field experiences a force, and exerts an equal and opposite force back upon the magnet.
Explain that the macroscopic magnetic forces observed are the direct result of interactions between overlapping magnetic fields.
Apply Fleming’s left-hand rule to accurately deduce the relative directions of force, current, and magnetic field in mutually perpendicular scenarios.
Calculate the force exerted on a conductor situated at right angles to a magnetic field.
