In this video, Chris and Gary explore an experiment designed to demonstrate Fleming's Left Hand Rule using simple, homemade equipment. The setup includes a set of baking scales, magnets, and a conductor placed in a magnetic field, with a current controlled by a power supply. They walk through the experiment step-by-step, explaining how the direction of the current and magnetic field affects the force generated on the conductor, which is measured on the scales. The experiment visually proves Fleming's Left Hand Rule, which relates the direction of force, magnetic field, and current in an electrical motor. The hosts also discuss how changing the polarity of the power supply reverses the force direction, offering an engaging and practical demonstration of this fundamental physics principle. This is a great example of a simple, replicable experiment that can support learning in college-level physics.
