Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A teacher demonstrates a simple DC motor. If the rotor turns at a rate of 5 revolutions per second with a current of 1A passing through the coil, what would happen if the current were increased to 2A while keeping everything else constant?

💡 Hint: Think about the effect of current on magnetic strength.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a simple experiment to demonstrate the motor effect using household items. List the materials and the expected outcome.

💡 Hint: What simple connections can you create to observe force in action?
