In a voice coil motor (VCM), the magnetic field is provided by a permanent magnet, and the lens position is controlled by varying the current through a copper coil.

Early theories in motor behavior proposed a single general motor ability, but later research found that motor abilities such as balance, timing, strength, and coordination are relatively independent of one another.
