  2. Homopolar motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homopolar_motor

    Electromagnetic rotation experiment of Faraday, ca. 1821 [2] Working principle of a homopolar motor: due to movement of negative charges from center towards rim of the disk, a Lorentz force F L is created which brings the entire disk into rotation. The homopolar motor was the first electrical motor to be built.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Electric machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_machine

    In electrical engineering, electric machine is a general term for machines using electromagnetic forces, such as electric motors, electric generators, and others. They are electromechanical energy converters: an electric motor converts electricity to mechanical power while an electric generator converts mechanical power to electricity.

  6. Electrical device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_device

    Electrical equipment part of the distribution system in a large building. Electrical equipment includes any machine powered by electricity. It usually consists of an enclosure, a variety of electrical components, and often a power switch. Examples of these include: Lighting; Major appliance; Small appliances; IT equipment (computers, printers etc.)

  7. 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.

  8. Field coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_coil

    The large brown molded-plastic piece in the foreground supports the brush guides and brushes (both sides), as well as the front motor bearing. A field coil is an electromagnet used to generate a magnetic field in an electro-magnetic machine, typically a rotating electrical machine such as a motor or generator.

  9. Rotating magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_magnetic_field

    The rotating magnetic field is the key principle in the operation of induction machines.The induction motor consists of a stator and rotor.In the stator a group of fixed windings are so arranged that a two phase current, for example, produces a magnetic field which rotates at an angular velocity determined by the frequency of the alternating current.
