Question 26 • Physics in the Universe

Which changes in an electric motor will make the motor stronger? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
using a weaker permanent magnet
B
increasing the distance between the magnets
C
decreasing the distance between the magnets
D
increasing current in the electromagnet
E
decreasing current in the electromagnet
F
using a stronger permanent magnet

Explanation

A motor becomes stronger when the magnetic forces acting on its electromagnet increase. Increasing the current in the electromagnet strengthens its magnetic field, and using a stronger permanent magnet increases the magnetic field around it. Decreasing the distance between the magnets also makes their magnetic interaction stronger. So the correct changes are increasing current, using a stronger permanent magnet, and decreasing the distance between the magnets.
