The motor effect is the principle on which all electric motors are built. As a conductor is a flow of electrons (negatively charged particles) a wire can be placed in a magnetic field and deflected. If many wires are placed in the field and tied together the overall deflection on them will be greater (the increase in force outweighs the increase in mass, hence the acceleration will increase). This has developed into the coils we see in everyday motors.

The motor effect is also utilised in a variety of other applications such as [[cathode ray tube]]s in [[televisions]] (in many rear screen projectors electromagnets are used in the deflection system), in electron microscopes (electromagnets are used to accelerate electrons), in [[loudspeakers]] (a coil is wrapped around a magnet, the alternating current in the coil causes it to be deflected in and out producing sound waves) and in [[galvanometers]].
