What is DC Motor?
The motors we use were also used by our ancestors. They are important in modern society; they are used in electric
cars, fans, trains and even computers. DC motors are made to distribute consistant rotation movement.
Electiricity gives the DC motor the ability to rotate. There is a copper wire surrounded by strong magnets inside a
motor. A magnetic field is formed when electricity is given to the wire. As you know, the copper wire will rotate
using the power of the magnets pushing each other away. This is used to rotate the electric motor.
