Activity #2: Simple Electric Motor
 Materials Needed:
AA Battery small magnet
A block of wood wire
 Procedure:
1. Coil the wire around an AA battery at least 10 times.
2. Remove the coil from the battery and wrap the ends of
the coil 2 times.
Activity #2: Simple Electric Motor
 Procedure:

3. Remove the insulation and be careful not to damage the wire.

4. Cut two pieces of wire about 8 inches.
5. Remove the insulation of each end of the wire.
6. Bend each wire and form an S shape.
7. Attach the wire to the wooden block using tape.
8. Each wire bends about 90o.
9. Make sure that the coil is at the center and is balanced.
10. Put the magnet under the coil and connect the battery.
SW: Below are objects normally found at home. List
down which has an electric motor.
Objects with electric motor
Answers:
3. Materialswith electric motor need
electricity to function.
4. Materials
without electric motor don’t
need electricity to function.
5. Electric
motor converts electrical
energy into mechanical energy.
Magnetism
Theforce exerted by magnets when
they attract or repel each other.
Lodestone
 has a property of attracting
iron particles to it.
 naturally magnetized piece
of the mineral magnetite
Magnet
 is a substance that possesses magnetic properties
 is a material or object that produces a magnetic field.

Magnetic Domains, Magnetic Field, &
Magnetic Lines of Force
The closer you bring two magnets together,
The stronger the force between them becomes
Magnetic Domains, Magnetic Field, &
Magnetic Lines of Force
Magnetic fields - is the space around the magnet
in which its force affects around the object
Magnetic Domains, Magnetic Field, &
Magnetic Lines of Force

Michael Faraday He described magnetic field

through magnetic lines of force
 Electricity makes magnet
Discovered that an electric current is
surrounded by a magnetic field
A current-carrying wire produces
magnetic field
Oersted’s Law

Hans Christian Oersted

 Electricity makes magnet
A magnet that can be switched on and
off

A solenoid with a core

The strength of an electromagnet can

be made stronger by increasing the
number of turns on the core

Electromagnet
Magnetic Field & Electric current
Discovered that a moving wire through a
magnetic field produces an electric
current

When a wire is moved though a magnetic

field, a current is generated in the wire
