Conversion of electrical energy into kinetic energy

Principle

This experiment explains how electric energy can be converted to energy of motion in an electric motor.

Benefits

• Simple design of all components, so that the student can easily recognise their function
• The possibility to set up function models gradually, so that functional relations between components can be understood
• No tools required for assembly

Tasks

Examine the behaviour of a coil that is pivoted so that it can turn in the magnetic field of a U-shaped magnet.
