    A DC motor worksheet aims to teach students about the parts and operating principles of DC motors through several tasks. Students are asked to label the main DC motor parts, describe how interaction between the armature and pole pair magnetic fields creates movement using Fleming's left-hand rule, and calculate the force on a conductor placed in a magnetic field. The worksheet explains that a commutator and brushes are used to maintain current flow in one direction to keep the motor spinning continuously in the same rotational direction.

    DC motors worksheet

    Aims and objectives


    At the end of this activity, you should be able to:
    label the main parts of a simple d.c. motor
    describe the basic operating principles of a d.c. motor
    complete a basic calculation for the force on a conductor

    Instructions
    Task 1
    Use the Internet and your text book to label the main parts of the d.c. motor.
    Task 2
    Complete the gaps in the following text about a d.c. motor, using the words in the box below.

    Movement in a d.c. motor is created by the interaction of two _________________. One

    magnetic field is permanent and is between the fixed magnetic _________________. The

    other magnetic field is created when the d.c. supply is switched on and current flows around

    the _________________. The induced armature magnetic field _________________ with

    the permanent pole pair magnetic field and movement occurs. The direction of movement is

    determined using Flemings _________________ rule. The _________________ finger on

    the left hand is lined up with the pole pair magnetic field. The second finger on the

    _________________ hand is lined up with the direction of current flow. The

    _________________ will then point in the direction the armature will move. The force the

    armature conductor will experience is determined by the _________________, the

    _________________ of the armature conductor and the _________________ of the

    magnet.

    To keep the armature moving in the same direction a _________________ is used. The

    commutator moves around with the armature and maintains contact with the supply by a set

    of _____________ ______________. The commutator _________________ are insulated

    from each other. The commutator acts as a switch that changes the _________________ of

    the current flow every half turn.

    _________________ is used for the brush as it has two useful properties.

    It self-_________________

    It has a _________________ temperature coefficient as it heats up with friction,

    resistance goes _________________.

    The formula for force on a conductor is given by: _________________.

    armature Carbon carbon brushes commutator


    current down F=BIL first
    left left-hand length lubricates
    magnetic fields negative polarity pole pairs
    reacts segments strength thumb

    Task 3
    A 3m armature conductor winding is placed in a 4T magnetic pole pair when a 3A supply
    current is switched on. What force will the conductor experience?
