  2. Fleming's left-hand rule for motors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleming's_left-hand_rule...

    Fleming's left-hand rule. Fleming's left-hand rule for electric motors is one of a pair of visual mnemonics, the other being Fleming's right-hand rule for generators. [1] [2] [3] They were originated by John Ambrose Fleming, in the late 19th century, as a simple way of working out the direction of motion in an electric motor, or the direction of electric current in an electric generator.

  3. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    An industrial electric motor . An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.

  4. Universal motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_motor

    The universal motor is a type of electric motor that can operate on either AC or DC power and uses an electromagnet as its stator to create its magnetic field. [1] It is a commutated series-wound motor where the stator's field coils are connected in series with the rotor windings through a commutator. It is often referred to as an AC series motor.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlow's_wheel

    Barlow's wheel was an early demonstration of a homopolar motor, designed and built by English mathematician and physicist, Peter Barlow in 1822. [1] It consists of a star-shaped wheel free to turn suspended over a trough of the liquid metal mercury , with the points dipping into the mercury, between the poles of a horseshoe magnet .

  8. Synchronous motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_motor

    Electric motors generate power due to the interaction of the magnetic fields of the stator and the rotor. In synchronous motors, the stator carries 3 phase currents and produces 3 phase rotating magnetic flux (and therefore a rotating magnetic field). The rotor eventually locks in with the rotating magnetic field and rotates along with it.
