Fundamentals of Motors Quiz Practice Quiz…

Q: What is the primary function of a motor?

To convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. — Motors use electrical power to produce rotational force (torque) for work.

Q: Which of the following is NOT a main component of a DC motor?

Transformer — Transformers are used in power delivery, not directly within a DC motor's operation.

Q: What is the purpose of the commutator in a DC motor?

To reverse the current direction in the armature winding. — The commutator ensures continuous unidirectional torque by flipping current at appropriate times.

Q: What is the unit of measurement for the rotational speed of a motor?

Revolutions per minute (RPM) — RPM indicates how many times a shaft completes a full rotation per minute.

Q: What is the role of the stator in a motor?

To provide the magnetic field. — The stator houses the field windings that generate the stationary magnetic field.
