Fleming’s Left-Hand Rule:

The Fleming’s Left Hand Rule states that if the left hand is stretched in a
way that the index finger, the middle finger and the thumb are in
mutually perpendicular directions,
then the index finger and middle finger of a stretched left hand show
the direction of magnetic field and direction of electric current
respectively and the thumb shows the direction of motion or force
acting on the conductor.

and electric motor.

Principle of Electric Motor:
When a rectangular coil is placed in a magnetic field and a current is passed through it, force acts on the coil, which
rotates it continuously. With the rotation of the coil, the shaft attached to it also rotates.

Construction of Electric Motor

• Armature: It is a rectangular coil (ABCD) which is suspended


between the two poles of a magnetic field. The electric supply to
the coil is connected with a commutator.

• Commutator or Split – ring: Commutator is a device which


reverses the direction of flow of electric current through a circuit.
It is two halves of the same metallic ring.

• Magnet: Magnetic field is supplied by a permanent magnet NS.

• Sliding contacts or Brushes P and Q which are fixed

. • Battery: These are consists of few cells.


AISV1
Working of Electric Motor

1. When an electric current is supplied to the


coil of the electric motor, it gets deflected
because of magnetic field. As it reaches the
halfway, the split ring which acts as
commutator reverses the direction of flow of
electric current.

2. Reversal of direction of the current,


reverses the direction of forces acting on the
coil. The change in direction of force pushes
the coil, and it moves another half turn. Thus,
the coil completes one rotation around the
axle. Continuation of this process keeps the
motor in rotation.
AISV1
In commercial motor, electromagnet instead of permanent magnet and armature
is used. Armature is a soft iron core with large number of conducting wire turns
over it. Large number of turns of conducting wire enhances the magnetic field
produced by armature

Uses of motors:
• Used in electric fans.
• Used for pumping
