The fact that current carrying loops experience a net torque in a magnetic field is the principle behind the electric motor, where the electrical energy involved in establishing a current is converted into the mechanical energy of rotating a shaft.
The direction of the magnetic field around the wire is also indicated by the small arrows featured on the individual field lines. Click the Reverse button to change the direction of the current flow and observe the effect this change exerts on the wireâs magnetic field.
