The Motor Effect Flemings left hand rule

A comprehensive lesson which teaches students about Fleming’s Left Hand Rule, the motor effect and applying this to a simple motor. Students will also be able to use the F = BIL equation quantify the amount of force experienced by a wire.

Progress checks are available following each success criteria

Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner.

Learning objective: Use and apply the left hand rule in order to justify the movement of a wire within a magnetic field.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:

Success criteria:
