| Abstract | Imagine being able to build an electric motor using a magnet, a battery, and a copper wire. Imagine being able to power a miniture fan using these three items, while using enough power to light two LED lights. The objective of this experiment was to determine how an electric motor works, and how it can be improved by seeing which wire transmits the most electricity to the motor. The wires that have been used are stainless steel, brass, and copper. |
