The bottle hangs from a thread so that it is horizontal and free to rotate. Estimate the maximum torque exerted on her homemade compass due to the Earth''s magnetic field.
Guide You can either have magnets rotating around a coil of wire, or a coil spinning around magnets, but that relative motion will create an electric current that can be stored as energy in a battery. They use that spinning motion in the turbine to rotate copper coils in a generator, which generates electricity. It''s basically the same way that
Guide Balance the copper wire on the positive terminal of the battery. Be sure the wire ends are in contact with the magnets but not with each other. Step 4. Voila! Watch the copper wire spin. The result is that the copper wire begins to rotate. This type of electric motor is called a homopolar motor, because the direction of the current is

Guide Using your wire cutter carefully cut a piece of copper wire about 12 inches long. The more copper wire you cut the bigger and slower the rotations you will get from your homopolar motor. The less copper wire you cut the smaller and faster rotations you will get from your homopolar motor. Make sure that you cut the wire cleanly so you wont have
Guide The only safe way to do this is to select a wire such that its resistance is high enough to limit the battery current to a safe level. To begin, you need to read the battery''s datasheet to determine what that safe current level might be. Knowing the battery''s voltage and safe current level, use Ohm''s law to calculate the necessary wire resistance.

Guide The copper wire cannot touch the ground or any other part of the magnet. First, coil the wire loose and extend the wire where it can touch both sides. As you do this, make adjustments to make it as loose as possible while it is still touching the magnet and the battery. Use the picture above as a
Guide motor shape with the copper wire: i. The copper wire must be touching the positive terminal. ii. The shape of your copper wire MUST be as balanced as possible to stay on the positive terminal of the battery. iii. The copper wire must make contact with the battery—looping it around is the best way. iv. Use caution!
Cut 6-8” pieces of copper wire. Attach 2 neodymium magnets to the bottom (negative terminal) of the AA battery. Place the magnets with battery vertical on a level surface. Place the shaped copper wire around the battery with the open ends touching the magnets and the top of the shape touching the top (positive terminal) of the battery.
Remove the copper wire when not in use, otherwise it may become hot and cause a fire. Use the pliers to shape the copper wire as shown. Attach the magnets to the negative terminal of the battery. Balance the copper wire on the positive terminal of the battery. Be sure the wire ends are in contact with the magnets but not with each other. Voila!
Complete the motor. Gently place the free end of the copper wire to the side of the magnet. The magnet and the screw should start to spin. When you place the copper wire to the side of the magnet, you complete the circuit between the battery terminals. The current flows from one end of the battery, down the screw, and into the magnet.
Here, an electric current in the copper wire is conducted through the magnetic field around the magnets. This causes a force to arise, which pushes on the copper wire and causes it to move. You have just built a machine that can make something move with the help of an electric current - an electric motor.
Attach the magnets to the negative terminal of the battery. Balance the copper wire on the positive terminal of the battery. Be sure the wire ends are in contact with the magnets but not with each other. Voila! Watch the copper wire spin. There is a close connection between electrical and magnetic phenomena.
Wind the copper wire into a coil about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Make four or five loops. Wrap the ends of the wire around the coil a couple of times on opposite sides to hold the coil together. Leave approximately 2 inches (5 cm) projecting from each side of the coil, and cut off any extra (click to enlarge photo below).
