Key Stage 3
Meaning
A typical D.C. Motor.
A D.C. Motor is an electrical motor which uses an electromagnet and permanent magnets to spin an axle.
About D.C. Motors
- The D.C. stands for Direct Current because the motor uses a Direct Current to work which means it can be powered by a cell or battery.
- When a current passes through the electromagnet in the d.c. motor the electromagnet is attracted to one of the permanent magnets in the motor. This causes the electromagnet to move.
