A simple DC electric motor is fitted with a coil that rotates in a magnetic field. A commutator connects the power supply to the coil.
What is the purpose of the commutator?
It converts AC into DC in the coil.
It prevents the current from becoming too great, because the coil has a low resistance
It reverses the direction of the current in the coil after every 180° rotation of the coil
It switches the current off momentarily after every 90° rotation of the coil

A wire XY lies between the poles of a magnet. The diagram shows the upward force on the wire XY caused when there is an electric current in the direction XY as shown.
Three tests are made using this apparatus:
1 The current direction is reversed.
2 The N and S poles are swapped around.
3 The current is switched off.
Which will result in no change in the size of the force on the wire?
1 and 2 only
1 only
2 only
3 only
