 Objective of the project

To demonstrate energy can be transferred from object to

object. To determine what elements cause homopolar motors
to move. To create a hands off homopolar motor.
 APPARATUS FOR THE PROJECT

Materials :
1. AA battery
2. 1/2 inch diameter cylindrical neodymium magnet. The
magnet should be roughly 1/2 inch long. You can also stack
together multiple smaller magnets.
3. 16 gauge bare copper wire (other gauges will work—the
wire should be flexible enough that you can easily bend it
by hand, but strong enough to hold its shape)
4. Scissors or wire cutters
 PROCEDURE FOLLOWED FOR THE PROJECT

Procedure:
1. Bend the copper wire into as many shapes as you would
like, just make sure to follow the
model shown in Figure 1 below.
2. Place the neodymium magnet on the negative side of the
battery.
3. Set the copper wire shape on the battery and wait for it to
start spinning.
 OBSERVATIONS

Homopolar
motor 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 angles to a static magnetic field…….
 INTRODUCTION
 A homopolar motor is one of the simplest motors built due to
the fact that it uses direct current to power the motor in one
direction. The magnet’s magnetic field pushes up towards the
battery and the current that flows from the battery travels
perpendicularly from the magnetic field. This causes the
creation of a force perpendicular to both the magnetic field and
current.
 This force, known as the Lorentz force, is exerted on the copper
wire (the conductor) causing it to spin…..
 CONCLUSION
 Conclusion.
The experiment proved our hypothesis. The
battery, copper wire, and magnets formed an
electrical circuit. The magnetic field and the
electric current made by the magnet and battery
are what caused the wire to rotate.
 PRECAUTIONS
Safety:
 Always have an adult with you to help you
during your experiment.
 Always wear eye protection and gloves
when doing chemistry experiments.
