What is It
Electric Motors

What is an electric motor? How does it work? An electric motor is a common type of machine
that is largely present in the machines that you have in your house. For example, the electric
motor used in an electric fan converse electrical energy to mechanical energy. Recall that a
generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. Therefore, an electric motor does
the opposite of what a generator does.

The electric motor has parts which include the armature


(consists of loops or wire), brushes, split-ring commutator,
axle, permanent magnets and an external source of
current. Its construction is similar to a generator. However,
instead of producing current through the rotation of the
armature between permanent magnets, a current is
provided to the armature by an external source. The
commutator reverses the current in the coil each time the
coil rotates through a half turn. The parts of the wire that
brush against the commutator are made from pieces of
graphite (carbon) or metal. The magnetic forces acting on
the current-carrying loop produce a torque that causes it
Figure 3: Electric Motor to rotate. With the use of the commutator and the electric
current that flows through the circuit, the coil will rotate continually in the same direction.

What is It

Why do some big establishments like malls, hospitals and company offices have lights
even in the absence of electric power or occurrence of power failure? They have devices
called electric generators. An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical
energy to electrical energy by applying the principle of electromagnetic induction.

An induced current is produces in an electric


current is produced in an electric generator
by rotating a wound coil (called armature) in
a stationary magnetic field. Circular metal
conductors called slip rings are connected to
the ends of the armature so that they rotate

Figure 5: A Simple Generator with it. The induced electric current is


delivered to an external circuit through the slip rings by stationary brushes.
Generators may be classified as an AC (Alternating Current) generator or a DC
(Direct Current) generator. Both or these generators work in the same fundamental
principle of Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. In an AC generator, when the loop
of wire rotates in a magnetic field, there is a change in the number of magnetic field lines
within the loop. The number of magnetic field lines that
the loop encloses varies from a maximum to a
minimum, then back to a maximum again. As this
happens, the changing strength of the magnetic field
through the wire induces a voltage that generates
electric current. The induced voltage initially causes a
current moving on a particular direction along the wire.

Figure 6: Generator

Page 18
19
As the loop of wire rotates through 180o, the induced voltage reverse and consequently
reverses the direction of the current. The direction of the induced current reverses every
half revolution of the wire (after every 180o turn of the loop of wire). This causes the
formation of AC. The slip rings always keep the wire connected to the same side of the
electric circuit. This mechanism causes the direction of the current to alternately change
its direction in the circuit.
A DC generator is almost the
same as an AC generator except that
the slip rings connected to the rotating
loop of wire or armature are replaced
by split rings or commutators. Each half
of the split ring is connected to one end
Figure 7: As the loop of wire rotates, induced voltage of the loop or armature terminals.
reverses resulting in an alternating current.

The current induced in the armature is still an alternating current but the split
ring makes the current flow into the external circuit in one direction. A more steady flow of
the induced current is produced by using many loops of wire wound on the armature
halves. The two brushes are always in contact with successive pairs of commutator
halves.
The two brushes keep the split ring’s surface clean, smooth, and protected by a fil of
carbon that helps maintain intimate contact throughout the operation of the generator.

Figure 8: the pair of split rings called commutator


in a DC generator is fixed and alternately contacts Figure 9: Shows the difference and
with the opposite sides of the coil carrying current similarity between a DC generator and
from the armature. This makes the current flow in an AC generator or AC alternator
only one direction.
