D.C. motor

A D.C. (direct current) motor converts electrical energy into mechanical motion using direct current electricity. It consists of two main parts: a stationary part called the stator, which creates a magnetic field, and a rotating part called the rotor or armature, which sits inside this magnetic field. When current flows through the armature windings, it generates a magnetic force that causes the rotor to turn. A device called a commutator switches the direction of current in the rotor windings, ensuring continuous rotation. D.C. motors are valued for precise speed control and smooth operation, used in applications like electric vehicles, cranes, and robotics.
