1 Electricity, Magnetism, and Motion Josh C, Nate S, Kelsey O, Katherine Z

2 Motion is produced by… …magnets. Like poles can repel each other and opposite poles can attract. …the interaction between electricity and magnetism. If a wire containing electricity is placed in a magnetic field, something moves.

3 Energy The ability to move an object. There are two types of energy. Mechanical Energy (potential or kinetic motion) Electrical energy (static or current electricity)

4 Galvanometer Galvanometers measure electrical charge. The arrow in a galvanometer is moved by the interaction between electricity and magnets.

5 Electric Motors An electric motor is a device found in many toys and uses the interaction between electricity and magnetism to spin an axle and covert electrical energy into mechanical energy. The three main parts of a motor are the commutator, the brushes, and the armature. Brushes: Things the commutator slides past Commutator: a device that reverses the direction of flow in an electric motor An arrangment of wires in a motor around an iron core.

6 THE END Katherine, Josh, Kelsey, and Nate all hope that we helped you learn something interesting about electricity, magnetism and motion! Galvanometer (that looks like a smiley face!)
