How the Brushed DC Motor Works
This motor operates on the principle of a Brushed DC Motor:
- When DC voltage is applied, current flows through internal coils
- Magnetic interaction causes the rotor to spin
- Brushes and commutator maintain continuous rotation
Speed can be controlled simply by adjusting input voltage, making it very flexible for different applications.
