Answer:

A coil of wire becomes an electromagnet when current passes through it. The electromagnet interacts with a permanent magnet, causing the coil to spin. Voilà!

Step-by-step explanation:

A coil of wire becomes an electromagnet when current passes through it. The electromagnet interacts with a permanent magnet, causing the coil to spin. Voilà! and ig Magnetic torque: Permanent magnets generate a flux field in the rotor. The stator generates a field that interacts with the rotor's magnetic field. Changing the position of the stator field with respect to the rotor field causes the rotor to shift. The shift due to this interaction is the magnetic torque.
