A DC (Direct Current) motor is an electric motor that converts direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy. It works based on the principle that a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field experiences a force, which causes rotation. DC motors are composed of two main parts: the stator, which generates the magnetic field, and the rotor (or armature), which carries the current. The interaction between the magnetic field and the current creates torque, driving the motor. DC motors are widely used in applications where precise speed control is needed, such as electric vehicles, robotics, and industrial machinery. They are often favored for their simplicity, ease of control, and ability to operate at variable speeds. DC motors come in various types, including brushed, brushless, shunt, series, and compound motors, each with specific advantages depending on the application’s requirements.
