Simple Electric Motor
#Physics #GCSE Looking at Flemings Motor Rule and how electric motors work starting with this very simple design. #iteachphysics #Science #STEM This design is nothing more than a coil of wire resting on two pieces of wire and a strong magnet. According to Flemings Left Hand Rule when a wire carrying an electric current comes into a magnetic field then movement happens.

Immutable theory of light
Looking at light passing through one prism then taking just one of those colours and trying to split that light again in another prism. It doesn't get split any more. Red light stays as red light.
