AnswersDriveLarge AC motors (used in things like factory machines) work in a slightly different way: they pass alternating current through opposing pairs of magnets to create a rotating magnetic field, which "induces" (creates) a magnetic field in the motor's rotor, causing it to spin around.
What is a motor control?
A motor controller is a device or group of devices that serves to govern in some predetermined manner the performance of an electric motor.
1
What is the principle of motor?
Working principle of a DC motor. A motor is an electrical machine which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The principle of working of a DC motor is that "whenever a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a mechanical force".

What causes an electric motor to rotate?
Basic function of an electric motor is that it's based on at least two magnets, which create rotational motion. The essence of the electric motor is an electro magnet. The motion is based on magnetism. The device uses electromagnetic (or magnetic) forces to transfer the energy to mechanical energy.

What is the basic principle of electric motor?
The principle of working of a DC motor is that "whenever a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a mechanical force". The direction of this force is given by Fleming's left hand rule and it's magnitude is given by F = BIL.

How does an electric car engine work?
Battery electric vehicles, or BEVs, use electricity stored in a battery pack to power an electric motor and turn the wheels. When depleted, the batteries are recharged using grid electricity, either from a wall socket or a dedicated charging unit. The amount of pollution produced depends on how the electricity is made.
5
What are the components of an electric motor?
Industrial electrical motor parts and assemblies include, but are not limited, to:
- Shaft.
- Windings.
- Ball / Roller/ Sleeve/ Antifriction bearings.
- Armature.
- Stator.
- Commutator.
- Brushes.
- Terminals.
6
How does a homopolar electric motor work?
A homopolar motor creates rotational movement because of what is known as the Lorentz force. What's happening is that electrical current is flowing from the positive terminal of the battery to the negative and into the magnet.
7
What is meant by AC motor?
An AC motor is an electric motor driven by an alternating current (AC). The AC motor commonly consists of two basic parts, an outside stator having coils supplied with alternating current to produce a rotating magnetic field, and an inside rotor attached to the output shaft producing a second rotating magnetic field.

How does a motor work in physics?
Electric motors involve rotating coils of wire which are driven by the magnetic force exerted by a magnetic field on an electric current. They transform electrical energy into mechanical energy.
9
What is an induction motor used for?
An induction motor or asynchronous motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in the rotor needed to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding.
10
How is an electrical current created?
A sufficient electromotive force (emf), or voltage, produces a charge imbalance that can cause electrons to move through a conductor as an electric current, according to Serif Uran, a professor of physics at Pittsburg State University. This is what happens in the case of electrical current in a wire.
11
What is the use of an electric motor?
An electric motor is a device that turns electrical energy into motion, usually rotation. It changes electrical energy into mechanical energy or kinetic energy (kinetic energy means movement). This works using electromagnetism. A loop of wire containing a current is passed through an electromagnet's magnetic field.
12
What is the use of a motor in a circuit?
The electric motor. A simple electric motor can be built using a coil of wire that is free to rotate between two opposite magnetic poles. When an electric current flows through the coil, the coil experiences a force and moves. A coil of wire is used with lots of turns to increase the effect of the magnetic field.
13
What is the basic principle of an electric motor?
The electric motor is a device which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. There are mainly three types of electric motor. All of these motors work in more or less same principle. Working of electric motor mainly depends upon the interaction of magnetic field with current.
14
What is the function of a generator?
A function generator is usually a piece of electronic test equipment or software used to generate different types of electrical waveforms over a wide range of frequencies. Some of the most common waveforms produced by the function generator are the sine wave , square wave, triangular wave and sawtooth shapes.
15
What does the motor do?
An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.
16
What is the difference between an AC and DC motor?
D.C wound field motors are constructed with brushes and a commutator, which add to the maintenance, limit the speed and usually reduce the life expectancy of brushed D.C. motors. A.C. induction motors do not use brushes; they are very rugged and have long life expectancies. The final basic difference is speed control.
17
What is the use of dc motor?
The series DC motor is an industry workhorse for both high and low power, fixed and variable speed electric drives. Applications range from cheap toys to automotive applications. They are inexpensive to manufacture and are used in variable speed household appliances such as sewing machines and power tools.
18
How does an electric motor generate electricity?
That would make the copper coil inside the motor turn around repeatedly inside its permanent magnet. If you move an electric wire inside a magnetic field, you make electricity flow through the wire—in effect, you generate electricity.
19
What is the purpose of a servo motor?
A servomotor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity and acceleration. It consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback.
