Introduction

This tutorial will show you how to make an electric motor using a battery magnet and copper wire for your science project.

Electric Motor works on the electromagnetic concept. The Forces produced by the magnetic field help in making turning motions in the electric motors.

Supplies

To make this working model of motor, we need;

Material

  • Battery
  • Copper wire
  • Magnets
  • Hot glue gun
  • Screw
  • Safety pins
  • Clay

Steps To Make An Electric Motor

Step 1: wind a copper wire around the battery.

Current is flowing through the coil. The coil’s interaction with the magnet caused it to spin.

Recommendation

In this tutorial, the electric motor science model helps students understand the concept of electric motor working and the flow of electricity due to electromagnetic waves.

Things To Remember

  • Don’t let the circuit close for more than 1 minute; this may cause the battery to burn.
  • Working slowly and carefully during cutover.
  • Learn all you can about the materials and techniques you’re using.
  • Work carefully during wire attachment.
  • The battery will be warm during the experiment, so be careful with it.
  • Be careful during work with soldering iron.
