Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of the commutator in a DC electric motor?

  • To increase the speed of the motor
  • To reverse the direction of the current in the armature coil (correct)
  • To control the torque of the motor
  • To convert AC to DC
  • What is the role of the stator in an electric motor?

  • To regulate the speed of the rotor
  • To conduct electrical current to the rotor
  • To provide a magnetic field for the rotor to interact with (correct)
  • To support and protect the rotor
  • What happens to the back emf (electromotive force) as the speed of a DC motor increases?

  • It decreases
  • It becomes zero
  • It remains constant
