A circuit with a spinning coil

This week during science we created a circuit that made a coil spin rapidly. For the experiment, we used a cup and we put rubber bands around it. They held the brass wires in place. We used alligator clamps to connect the circuit to the cup. After that we put the coil in place that was being held by the brass wires. Under the coil we put a magnet. When we pressed the switch down, the coil spun. At first, many groups got frustrated since it didn't work. Some groups had to change certain things for the circuit to work. Eventually all groups got the coil to spin.
