In this activity, learners make an electromagnet motor to demonstrate the most basic method of changing electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Learners use compasses to detect the magnetic field created by current moving through a wire. This is one of four activities learners can complete related to PhysicsQuest 2008.

Learners drop a magnet through a coil of wire to create electric current in a circuit. LEDs in the circuit allow learners to detect the direction of current flow.
