State Fleming’s left-hand rule.
Fleming’s Left-hand rule states that if we arrange our thumb, forefinger and middle finger of the left hand at right angles to each other, then the thumb points towards the direction of the magnetic force, the forefinger points towards the direction of the magnetic field and the middle finger points towards the direction of the current.
What is the principle of an electric motor?
The working principle of an electric motor is based on the magnetic effect of current. A current-carrying conductor, when placed in a magnetic field, experiences force and rotates. The direction of the rotation of the conductor can be determined by Fleming’s Left-hand rule.
What is the role of split ring in an electric motor?
The split ring plays the role of a commutator in an electric motor. The commutator reverses the direction of the current flowing through the coil after each half-rotation of the coil. Due to this reversal of current, the coil continues to rotate in the same direction.
