[important]
An electric motor changes electrical energy into rotational mechanical energy. A motor works on the same principle as a galvanometer, except that there is no spring in motor so that the coil can rotate continuously in one direction. Here, students will learn in a systematic way the difficult concept behind the principle of a DC motor.
Also, we will learn about the construction, working, and uses of the DC motor. It consists of a rectangular coil of wire mounted on an axle, which can rotate between poles of a magnet. Each end of the coil is connected to half of a copper split ring, called a commutator, which co-rotates with the coil. Two carbon blocks, the brushes, are pressed tightly against the commutator by springs. The brushes are connected to a DC electrical supply to start the motor.
