Direct Current Motors
A Direct Current Motor (DC motor) is an electrical device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy using direct current. It operates on the principle of electromagnetism, where a magnetic field interacts with a current-carrying conductor to produce motion. DC motors are commonly used in various applications, including toys, electric vehicles, and industrial machinery.
These motors are known for their simplicity and ease of control. They can easily change speed and direction by adjusting the voltage or current supplied. Brushes and commutators are often used in traditional DC motors to maintain the flow of electricity, allowing for smooth operation and efficient performance.
