About Me

I am a full time specialist Physics tutor operating in Klang Valley. I've been educating student for more than 10 years. My specialty is to transform student that had failed their physics subject into a better result. Even some of them managed to get an A in their final exam, You can read their testimony in this blog. I provide home tuition for physics subject to those living nearby KL especially around W.Maju, Ampang,Melawati and Setiawangsa. At the same time i 'm giving online tuition to all malaysia & overseas student. For tuition centre looking for a physics tutor, i'm also able to give seminar and conduct weekly classes. Meanwhile,for school teachers who are organising physics seminar, i am happy to assist u in that aspect. If u have enquiry on my service, do contact or whatsap me at 017-2877589 or email me at celikfizik @ gmail . com

Turning effect on a current-carrying coil

In this learning outcome, it is important 4 u to really understand the whole concept. It represents the fundamental principle of how d.c motors work. In SPM physics , it always being asked in Paper1 or Paper2.
So, in this outcome, u must be able to;

-Describe how a current carrying coil in a magnetic field experiences a turning force:
To describe this, 1st u need a wire(conductor) and shape it like a coil in diagram1.

Diagram 1

Then bring this coiled wire in between a permanent magnet. After that u connect both end of the wire to a battery. As a result,current will be supplied through the coil a-b & c-d as shown in diagram 2.

Diagram 2

- From the diagram2 , current in side a-b & side c-d are in different direction.
- In side a-b, apply Fleming Left hand rule, u'll get a force acting downward.
Thus side a-b will pushed downward.

- In side c-d, applying Fleming left hand rule, u'll get a force acting upward.
This caused side c-d to move upward.

- As a result, a turning effect in both sides turn the coil rotating anticlockwise as shown in
diagram 3 below.
Diagram 3

By looking at different view, the turning effect can also be illustrated in diagram 4.
