Question
State the principle of a D. C. motor.

Solution
It is based on the principle that when an electric current is passed through a conductor placed normally in a magnetic field, a force acts on the conductor as a result of which the conductor begins to move. The direction of the force is obtained with the help of Fleming’s left hand rule.
