an electric field or a magnetic field.

An electric motor is very similar to

an electric generator.

If a steady magnetic field exerts a force on a moving charge, that force is directed

at right angles to the direction of the field.

If a steady magnetic field exerts a force on a moving charge, that force is directed

at right angles to the direction of the motion.

Transformers use ac so there will be the required

change in magnetic field for operation.

Voltage can be induced in a wire by

changing the current in a nearby wire. moving the wire near a magnet. moving a magnet near the wire.

Magnetic field lines about a current-carrying wire
