• Michael Faraday (1791-1867)
– London, England.
– Physicist and Chemist
• First person to successfully create an electric motor.
• Discovered that electric currents create a magnetic field, and vice versa.
Electric Motors
• To demonstrate the principle of electromagnetism.
• To use principles of electromagnetism to produce a mechanical result.
Purpose of Lesson
U3e-L8
U3e-L8
• Electric motors are used everyday in many ways.• A motor’s purpose is to turn electrical energy into
mechanical energy.
Motors work on simple principles of magnetism:• Opposite poles _____________• Like poles _____________

• An electric current produces a magnetic field.• Electric current through a coil of wire creates an
electromagnet.• What is the benefit of creating a magnet with
electricity?– It can be turned on and off.– The strength and direction of the magnetic
poles can be controlled by altering the strength and direction of the electric current.

NSELECTRIC MOTORS
Back to our magnet:• Suppose we create an electromagnet like below.• What will happen?
– The electromagnet and the permanent magnet will REPEL each other.
• What will happen now?– The electromagnet and the permanent magnet will
ATTRACT each other.

• What would happen if we put an axle through the middle of the permanent magnet, then turned on the electromagnet?
• This is how a motor rotates.• The electromagnet is turned on and off so that the
permanent magnet is attracted, then repelled, then attracted, then repelled….and so on.

What is a schematic?
How would a schematic which includes an electric
motor look?
ELECTRIC MOTORS
A schematic is a diagram that represents the elements of a system without using realistic pictures.
V = 9V
I
Motor
Switch = Commutator

• Now that you know what switches look like in electrical schematics, draw an electrical schematic for a lamp plugged into a wall outlet.
• Remember that AC power supplies look like in electrical schematics.
