DC Current Electricity and Magnetism in Electrical Conductors
Electric FieldAn Electric Field or Force Surrounding a Charged ParticleAn electric field radiates outward from a positive charge and radiates in toward a negative point charge.
The movement of Electric Charges is called Current.
Current is measured by the amount of charge (Coulombs) passing through the cross-sectional area of a conductor in a given period of time (Seconds).
A Conventional Current flows from a positive battery terminal to a negative battery terminal.

Ions contain CHARGES that create electric fieldsCurrent ElectricityBatteries use electrochemical reactions to produce dissimilar charges used to create current in DC motors and circuits.
Ions contain CHARGES that create electric fields. These opposite electric fields produce imbalanced forces necessary to move the charges through the circuit.Current ElectricityThe electric field produced in a battery forces current through an electric circuit or conductor connected across the battery poles,
A current created by the unidirectional movement of charge(s) through a conductor is called a direct current. This current is produced by all batteries
When current moves through a conductor a circular magnetic field is induced around the conductorMagnetic Field LinesDirection of Conventional CurrentNegative Battery TerminalPositive Battery Terminal
The Right Hand RuleThe direction of the magnetic field surrounding the conductor can be found using your right handPosition the thumb of your right hand pointing in the direction of conventional current (Positive to Negative) and your fingers will wrap around the conductor in the direction of the induced magnetic field.

When current moves through a coiled conductor a circular magnetic field is induced about the coilCurrent and Magnetism in a Coil
Motor (armature) rotation is caused by the simultaneous attraction and repulsion between the electromagnetic field in the armature and a fixed magnetic fieldArmature

NSUse the Left Hand Rule to Determine the Rotation Direction of the Armatures in A and BNotice that when the current through the armature is reversed, it moves (Rotates) in the opposite directionABHint: You will have to turn your left hand upside down for example A
