The conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, representing unions, socialist parties, working women's clubs, and including the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament, greeted Zetkin's suggestion with unanimous approval and International Women's Day was the result.
Magnets are pieces of metal that have the ability to attract other metals. Every magnet has two poles: a north and a south. Much like electrical charges, two similar magnetic poles repel each other; while opposite magnetic poles attract each other. Magnets have a continuous force around them that is known as a magnetic field. This field enables them to attract other metals. Figure 1 illustrates this force using bar and horseshoe magnets. The shape of the magnet dictates the path the lines of force will take.
As you can see in the picture above, a motor works based on magnets. Magnets have two poles, south and north. Opposites attract, and similar poles repel each other. In motors, there are two bar magnets across from each other, one south and one north. They attract so this creates a rotational motion which is what makes the motor run. The armature is an electromagnet, which is a magnet whose magnetic field is produced by the flow of electric current. The field magnets are permanent magnets. The motor has a circuit which includes the axle, commutator, brushes, and armature. The axle is the central shaft attached to the commutator. The commutator is is a rotary electrical switch that periodically reverses the current direction between the armature and the external circuit.
