The motor effect is when a current carrying conductor creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field is circular and will interact with other magnetic fields. As a result, the wire experiences a force.
The motor effect is the reason a motor works, the interaction of a wire coil with a magnetic field results in rotational energy. Therefore, converting electrical potential energy into mechanical energy.
