We attached the power supply to the motor and it began to spin.
When we reversed the direction of current it began to spin in the opposite direction.
Our Magnetic Motor
We created our own version of a magnetic motor by using a copper wire, magnets, two paperclips, and a power supply. First we wrapped the wire in a way to get a symmetric oval. We then sanded 360 degrees of one lead of the wire and 180 degrees of the other lead. We attached the paper clips to the top of a cup and placed a magnet in the center. We then attached the power supply to the paperclips and rested the wire leads between the loops. When we turned on the power supply current moved through the wire and the magnetic field caused it to turn.
