In class today, I did a motors lab. My lab partners were Anna and Lena. The 1st thing that we had to do, was wind a copper wire around a straw. We then had to hold the straw horizanatlly and put a needle into it.
The 2nd thing we had to do, was wind a copper wire around a battery 3 times, and then attache it to two paper clips, which we then taped onto the battery. And we also had to put a ceramic magnet underneath the copper wire circle. What was supposed to happen, was the battery sides, the paper clips, and the wire were supposed to get warm, and the wire circle was suppoesd to turn.
I did the 2nd expiriment with Anna, but then Anna went and helped Lena. We split up the expiriments so that our group could do both in the time we were given.
Although the contraption didn't work properly (the wire only spun 1/2 way then stopped). It did on the other hand heat up. In fact, it heated up so much, that I burned my cheek on it.
