Fundamentals of Motor Quiz Practice Quiz…

To convert electrical energy into mechanical energy — Motors use electricity to produce motion.

Rotor — The rotor is the rotating part of a motor, found in nearly all types.

Revolutions per minute (RPM) — RPM measures how many times the motor's shaft rotates in a minute.

Stator — The stator houses the field windings that create the magnetic field.

To reverse the current in the armature windings — The commutator reverses the current to maintain continuous rotation.
