I have a project where I am to build a DC motor with a commutator and brushes out of simple materials, such as scrap wood, magnet copper wire, permanent magnets and a 9V battery. I have already assembled the motor. When I connect the 9V battery, the coils do have a magnetic field as they will attract a paperclip, but the armature won't turn. If I give it a push, they become attracted to the permanent magnets on each side instead of repelling them to keep it turning. Any ideas why?
