Triangles: 109k
Vertices: 54.6k
More model informationTo explain how this rotor works I use the rule of three fingers of the left hand. It can be aplied not only to right angles but also when the angle between the current and the lines of magnetic field is different from 90 degrees. The Lorentz force represented by the green vector is always perpendicular to the plane given by the direction of the field line and the current.
yellow arrow - direction of current
magenta arrow - direction of magnetic field lines
green vector - Lorentz force
blue - north magnetic pole
red - south magnetic pole
