See for yourself how the forces of electricity and magnetism can work together by building a simple DC electric motor using simple materials you can find in any hardware store!
Electricity and magnetism are both forces caused by the movement of tiny charged particles that make up atoms, the building blocks of all matter. When a wire is hooked up to a battery, current flows through the wire because negatively charged electrons flow from the negative terminal of the battery toward the positive terminal of the battery because opposite charges attract each other, while similar charges repel each other. This flow of electrons through the wire is an electric current, and it produces a magnetic field.
In a magnet, atoms are lined up so that the negatively charged electrons are all spinning in the same direction. Like an electric current, the movement of the electrons creates a magnetic force. The area around the magnet where the force is active is called a magnetic field. Metal objects and other magnets that enter this field will be pulled toward the magnet.
The way the atoms are lined up creates two different poles in the magnet, a north pole and a south pole. As with electrical charges, opposite poles attract each other, while like poles repel each other.

Now let's watch it work as we build a motor.
(Note: This science project requires adult supervision.)
Take into account that density and relative density are given by:

Take into account that the volume associated to each of the given sustances in the table is determined by the Level Difference (because it is the change in the volume of the water of the recipient in which the substance is immersed).
The density of water in kg/m^3 is 1000 kg/m^3.
Due to the density must be given in kg/m^3, it is necessary to express the volumes of the table in m^3 and mass in kg, then, consider the following conversion factor:
1 m^3 = 1000000 ml
1 kg = 1000 g
Then, you obtain the following results:
