Motors Lab

Today Lena Kathryn and I did the motors Lab. We learned that when electricity flows through things, it creates a magnetic field. the particles are negatively charged (cause they have more electrons- hence electricity) When the wires are coiled tightly, there is a stronger magnetic field.
A magnet has a push side and a pull side. These are called poles. Since the electricity is moving through the wire, the needle moves when it is pushed/pulled through the magnetic field.
