Electric motor??

i have to build an electric motor for a science project using a
"D" cell battery, paper clips, a coil, and a magnet.

can you please explain how to build one?

Answer:
When you say coil I assume you mean a coiled copper wire coil. If so then you will need magnets surrounding the coil, I would assume the coil would spin on the paper clip, paper clips would not transfer electricty very well (they are very low ore cheap metals) so I doubt it will conduct the elctricity from the battery. I assume you will need to wires also going from the battery to the magnets.Good luck...usually electric motors have specialized batteries that surround the coil (shaped magnets), so you can't just use any magnet...my 2 cents worth anyway.
