Building a simple electric motor course, in this course you’ll dive into the fascinating world of electromagnetism by constructing your own motor from basic materials. This course covers the fundamental principles behind electric motors, explaining how electric currents and magnetic fields interact to produce motion. You'll learn about each essential component—wire coils, magnets, a power source, and the armature—and how they work together to generate rotational force. Step-by-step guidance will show you how to set up your motor using simple materials like insulated copper wire, a battery, and neodymium magnets. You’ll explore concepts such as the Lorentz force, electromagnetic induction, and how changing variables like coil turns or magnet strength affects motor performance. Practical sessions will include troubleshooting common issues, like ensuring smooth rotation and minimizing friction. By the end, you'll not only have a working electric motor but also a solid understanding of the physics principles that power modern electric devices. Ideal for beginners in electronics, this course combines theory and hands-on practice to make learning engaging and accessible.
