Why does the Earth rotate? At present, it is impossible to use an experimental device to show which forces cause planets (such as Earth) to rotate in the solar system. Therefore, we developed a device to observe the rotation of a permanent magnet in a magnetic field to achieve an understanding of rotational force. A permanent magnet rotating under the action of a DC motor is installed on Motor Shaft; a permanent magnet designed to rotate in a magnetic field is placed in a circular container with water and floats on the surface of the water. Using the above setup, experimental methods and procedures based on this research can be used to observe the rotational behaviour of a permanent magnet in a magnetic field, understand the reason for its rotation, and determine the strength of the rotational force of the permanent magnet in the magnetic field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
