The conducting wire will move from its initial position. This effect is called motor effect.
A current-carrying wire or coil can exert a force on a permanent magnet. This is called the motor effect. The wire could also exert a force on another nearby current-carrying wire or coil.
If the current-carrying wire is placed in a magnetic field (whose lines of force are at right angles to the wire) then it will experience a force at right angles to both the current direction and the magnetic field lines.
A simple electric motor can be built using a coil of wire that is free to rotate between two opposite magnetic poles. When an electric current flows through the coil, the coil experiences a force and moves.
The direction of the current must be reversed every half turn, otherwise the coil comes to a halt again. This is achieved using a conducting ring split in two, called a split ring or commutator. A coil of wire is used with lots of turns to increase the effect of the magnetic field.Speakers contain both a permanent magnet and an electromagnet. The two poles of the permanent magnet remain the same, but the poles of the electromagnet reverse when the direction of electric current reverses. For example, the end of the electromagnet which is its north pole will be attracted to the south pole of permanent magnet. This pulls the electromagnet towards the permanent magnet. When the electric current changes direction, the same end of the electromagnet becomes its south pole. The electromagnet is now repelled by the south pole of the permanent magnet, and moves away from it. The speaker cone is connected to the electromagnet, so it moves too. This creates vibrations in the air in front of the speaker, which is the sound we hear.
Use Fleming’s left-hand rule to remember the direction of motion in an electric motor. It is shown in the following diagram.
The First finger points in the direction of the magnetic Field. The seCond finger points in the direction of the Current and is at right angle to the field. The thuMb points in the direction of the Motion. Remember to use your left hand, not your right!
