Law and Legislation. CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS. California led the nation in 1991 by enacting criminal sanctions for the violation of civil rights laws. The laws provide enhanced sentences for those convicted of violent or threatening behavior based on race, gender, religion, age, disabilities or sexual preference.
The fact that current carrying loops experience a net torque in a magnetic field is the principle behind the electric motor, where the electrical energy involved in establishing a current is converted into the mechanical energy of rotating a shaft.
This is also called the motor effect, since this is the way motors work. The wire (formed into a square loop), experiences a torque because the current flowing in the two arms of the loop are not in the same direction, causing the forces on the wire to be in opposite directions. The torque turns the wire loop.
