A DC motor is a device that converts DC electrical power into mechanical power. It operates by rotating a shaft using electromagnetism. DC motors are fairly simple to use, though they require slightly different reasoning from the way we have been examining circuits so far.
23.1 Theory of Operation
While there are more than one kind of motor, the “typical” DC motor is known as a brushed electric motor . This motor has a fixed outside container (called a stator because it is stationary) that contains magnets with opposite poles. Within the stator is an armature with electromagnets that is connected ...
