Question

Write the principle of DC Motor?

Answer 1

Fleming’s left hand rule to determine the direction of force acting on the armature conductors of DC motor. If a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field perpendicularly, then the conductor experiences a force in the direction mutually perpendicular to both the direction of field and the current carrying conductor. Fleming’s left hand rule says that if we extend the index finger, middle finger and thumb of our left hand perpendicular to each other, in such a way that the middle finger is along the direction of current in the conductor, and index finger is along the direction of magnetic field i.e. north to south pole, then thumb indicates the direction of created mechanical force
