- A d.c. A motor works on the principle that a current-carrying conductor placed normally in a magnetic field experiences a force, producing rotational motion.
- The split ring commutator reverses the direction of current in the coil after every half rotation, so that the coil continues to rotate in the same direction.
- The armature coil experiences an anticlockwise couple due to equal and opposite forces on its arms, causing continuous rotation of the coil.
- In a d.c. Motor, electrical energy supplied by the battery is converted into mechanical energy.
