Here are the results of our annual electric motor competition in AP Physics 2. Each lab group worked to build a simple DC electric motor using provided magnets, wire, and D-cell batteries. Each lab group's completed motor was filmed at 240 frames per second to estimate the average RPM or revolutions per minute.
Congratulations to our new school record holders: Carly Lindsell and Andrew Hu. Their DC electric motor had a rotational speed of approximately 2057 rpm!
