Question
State the function of a split ring in D.C. motor.
Advertisements
Solution
When the coil of a D. C motor turns through 180°, the split ring reverses the direction of the current in the coil from CBAD to DABC.
In this way, the coil continues to rotate continuously in the same direction and positive and negative polarities are maintained.
