CONTENTS Introduction History Working Principle of an Electric motor Types of Electric motor Key Components Electric motor Image Working Applications Advantages Disadvantage Conclusion
An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, producing motion or torque. It uses the principles of electromagnetism to generate force, which drives a machine or mechanism. INTRODUCTION
The first electric motor was invented by Michael Faraday in 1821, using a copper wire and a magnet. Later, in the 1830s, Thomas Davenport and Robert Anderson developed the first practical electric motors. HISTORY
WORKING PRINCIPLE OF AN ELECTRIC MOTO Electric motors work by converting electrical energy into mechanical motion or power ² They operate based on the principle that a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field experiences a force ² As current passes through the armature coil, the magnetic field causes it to rotate ².
DC Motors : Use direct current (DC) and are commonly used in applications like fans, pumps, and conveyor belts. AC Motors : Use alternating current (AC) and are widely used in household appliances, industrial machinery, and power tools. Stepper Motors : Use DC current and are known for precise control and positioning. Brushless Motors : Use DC current and are highly efficient, reliable, and compact. TYPES OF ELECTRIC MOTORS
Stator: The stationary part of the motor. Rotor: The rotating part of the motor. Windings: Copper wires that carry the electrical current. Bearings: Support the rotor and reduce friction KEY COMPONENTS
WORKING Electric current flows into the motor through the power source and windings (coils) in the stator. The current creates a magnetic field that interacts with the rotor's magnetic field. The interaction generates a force perpendicular to the current flow. The force causes the rotor to rotate due to torque. In DC motors, the commutator switches the current flow to maintain rotation. Continuous current flow enables continuous rotation, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.
