Why is the direction in which the D.C. motor turns reversed here?

    Direction Motor
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a discrepancy between the direction of rotation of a D.C. motor in a worksheet and a textbook. The worksheet indicates that the motor turns clockwise, while the textbook states it turns anti-clockwise. Participants question the interpretation of the figures, particularly Figure 6.2, which shows movement but lacks clarity on the direction of rotation. There is confusion regarding the upward and downward movements of components A and D and how they relate to the overall rotation direction. Clarification on these points is needed to resolve the conflicting information.

I tried Fleming left hand rule and no matter what doesn't AB move downwards?

in my worksheet, AB turns in clockwise direction , while in my textbook, it turns in the anti clockwise direction.
so may I know why is this the case?

Where does it say it turns clockwise?

in fig 6.2, A moves upwards while D moves downwards so doesn't it mean clockwise?
 
I don't see anything in the figure which suggests A is moving upward and D is moving downward.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
