How to teach the electric motor effect

A simple activity to teach the left hand motor rule, as well as a simple demonstration of the magnetic field surrounding a cconductor is shown. A very simple electric motor is constructed. Applications of the phenomena are discussed.

This is really simple and interactive Brian. It made the point you are teaching and then moved on, so it kept me involved. The ability to pay attention is so vital in learning - this you have made easy with the practical everyday materials you are using. This is the first Youtube presentation of yours that I have seen and I have been telling friends and professional associates about the site. Its relevance makes me hope that it will be translated so that learners across the globe can benefit.
