Electric motors are everywhere! In your house, almost every mechanical movement that you see around you is caused by an AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) electric motor.
A simple motor has six parts:
- Armature or rotor
- Commutator
- Brushes
- Axle
- Field magnet
- DC power supply of some sort
