How does the torque produced by a motor relate to the current and magnetic field?

The torque produced by an electric motor is directly proportional to the interaction between the current flowing in the conductors and the magnetic field present. Increasing the current flowing through the windings generally increases the magnetic force and thus increases the resulting torque.

This relationship is governed by the motor's design and the magnetic flux density established between the stator and rotor.
