This pre-assembled DC motor is designed for students to learn about electromagnetic forces. The open structure resembles the diagram found in many textbooks. The polarity of the magnets can be reversed to change the direction of rotation. The motor can also be used with a rheostat to observe the change of speed with the change of current. The DC motor can stand vertically or horizontally and operates on a 1.5 volt battery (not included). It includes a sturdy plastic storage case and an activity guide.IncludesDC Motor DemonstratorScrew DriverWrenchStorage CaseActivity Guide Shipping Details Shipping Type: parcel Free Shipping: true Specifications Maximum Age: None Maximum Grade Level: None Allergens: Contains No Allergens Certifications: Not Applicable Grade Level: Grades 5-12 SUOM Description: Each Brand Name: United Scientific Description: DC Motor
