electric motor: Construction & Working

Today’s blog explores electric motors, focusing on the mechanism and types of DC motors. Electric motors convert electrical to mechanical energy, with applications like water pumps. Motors are classified as AC or DC, with DC motors divided into brushless or brushed, and further into series, shunt, compound, or permanent magnet types. AC motors are categorized as synchronous or induction, single-phase or three-phase. DC motor parts include the stator, rotor, armature, commutator, and brushes, which operate based on Lorentz law, offering advantages of easy control and efficiency, but with maintenance downsides due to brush wear.
