Principle of DC motor
An electric motor is a machine which converts electric energy into mechanical
energy. Its action is based on the principle that when a current- carrying
conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a mechanical force whose
direction is given by the Fleming's Left- hand Rule and whose magnitude is given
by F=BIL Newton.
DC motors were the first form of motor widely used, as they could be
powered from existing direct-current lighting power distribution systems. A DC
motor's speed can be controlled over a wide range, using either a variable supply
voltage or by changing the strength of current in its field windings. Small DC
motors are used in tools, toys, and appliances. The universal motor can operate on
direct current but is a lightweight brushed motor used for portable power tools
and appliances. Larger DC motors are currently used in propulsion of electric
vehicles, elevator and hoists, and in drives for steel rolling mills. The advent
of power electronics has made replacement of DC motors with AC
motors possible in many applications.

Constructional feature is same as DC Generator

Magnetic flux produced according to right hand rule.


Construction of DC motor
How does a DC motor runs –
Very simple and clear formet of DC motor action.

According to the figure, the pole fluxes passes through the conductor from the
north pole to the south pole. When current passes through the coil or conductor, it
produces magnetic flux on the surrounding of the conductor . The direction of
this flux follows right hand rule. Magnetic flux never cut the another magnetic
flux, as a result the surrounding flux bends to the poles flux. The magnetic flux
always tries to maintain straight line condition. So bended fluxes exert a force on
the surrounded fluxes. As a result the armature feels a rotating torque and the
armature starts to rotate and the direction of rotation follows the Fleming's Left-
hand Rule.

Classification of DC Motors
1. Electromagnetic motors
2. Brushed
3. Brushless
4. Uncommutated
5. Permanent magnet stators
6. Wound stators
6.1 Series connection
6.2 Shunt connection
6.3 Compound connection
Uses:
The DC Motor or Direct Current Motor to give it its full title, is the most
commonly used actuator for producing continuous movement and whose speed of
rotation can easily be controlled, making them ideal for use in applications were
speed control, servo type control, and/or positioning is required.

Household items have motors in them-


Computer.
Refrigerator.
Microwave oven.
Washing machine.
Vacuum cleaner.
Smartphone.
Electric toothbrush.
