D. The direction of the force is toward the center of the object's circular path.
Answer:
A _commutator_ is used in a motor to switch the direction of the magnetic field created by the current.
The rotating part of a motor that holds the electromagnets is called the __armature___.
Electric current passes through the _brushes_ and into the electromagnets in an electric motor.
A motor turns _electrical_ energy into _mechanical_ energy.
Explanation:
A commutator, which is a split ring rotary switching device, reverses the direction of the current between the external circuit and the rotor. Reversing the current reverses the magnetic field.
The armature comprises the rotating part of the motor and the electromagnets
A brush is the electrical contact for conducting current through the moving and stationary parts of an electric motor
An electric motor turns electrical energy into mechanical energy.
Magnetic fields are areas where an object exhibits a magnetic influence. The fields affect neighboring objects along things called magnetic field lines. A magnetic object can attract or push away another magnetic object. You also need to remember that magnetic forces are NOT related to gravity. The amount of gravity is based on an object's mass, while magnetic strength is based on the material that the object is made of.
