What is a Homo-polar Motor?
What kind of materials do we need?
What is the purpose for this devise?
Is a direct current electric motor with two magnetic poles, the conductors of which always cut unidirectional lines of magnetic flux by rotating a conductor around a fixed axis so that the conductor is at right angle to a static magnetic field.
Unfortunately, you will never generate enough power from a homo-polar motor to power any domestic appliances but they are great fun to make and really useful for demonstrating the effects of electromagnetism.
Why does it spin?
What is happening to the energy?
It travels up the wire back to the positive terminal of the battery and the circuit is complete.
The electrical current is flowing from the positive terminal of the battery to the negative and into the magnet.
