Motors and Magnetic Fields 11/13

Today we learned about motors and how they work.
The first motor we were given taught us how torque is =IAxB and how and then we expanded by saying that toque is also NIAxB. therefore we would have a larger torque by using more loops. 
In this picture we have created an electromagnet. where the B vector is perpendicular to the steel plates. the cross sectional are would be the loops around the green holder and the current would be the same for both.

Here we have a DC motor being powered by a 3v battery at a steady current. with a magnetic field perpendicular to a to the current giving it a force to turn.
