This simple experiment shows that when an electric current passes through a conductor (the copper coils) that is in a magnetic field (magnet), a force known as the Lorentz Force is generated. This force is perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the direction of the current.
Due to the Lorentz Force, the copper coils experience a force that makes them rotate. This is a clear example of how electricity and magnetism can interact to produce motion.
