motor effect

Tendency of a wire carrying an electric current in a magnetic field to move. The direction of the movement is given by the left-hand rule (see Fleming's rules). This effect is used in the electric motor. It also explains why streams of electrons produced, for instance, in a television tube can be directed by electromagnets.
