I. Purpose:
To determine what is a motor, parts and to determine how it works.
II. Materials:
Armature Scissors Battery
Copper Wire
Safety Pins
Tape
U-Shaped Magnet
III. Procedure:
1. Prepare a Battery (1.5 volts) and put 2
Safety Pins at both terminals of the
battery.
2. Also, prepare an Armature, a Copper Wire looped and tied at both
ends.
3. After preparing procedure number 1 and number 2, insert the ends
of the Armature to the holes of the Safety Pins attached in the dry
cell.
4. Finally, place the dry cell and armature on a U-shaped magnet.
Observe what happens.
IV. Observation:
As we observed the Electromagnetic Swing placed on the magnet, the
Armature moves and rotates faster with the South Pole at the top and
the North pole at the bottom and vice versa.
V. Conclusion:
After conducting the activity, we concluded that a motor. An electric
motor is all about magnets and magnetism: A motor uses magnets to create
motion. A simple motor consists of the armature, commutator, brushes, axle,
field magnet and a dry cell or other source of power. A coil of wire in a magnetic
field rotates continuously as long as it carries current. The rate of the motor's
rotation depends on the force of the armature. The length of armature may be
increased by having more loops.
