Best Answer

Excitation is normally used to describe the current supplied to the field winding of a motor. A motor has a rotating armature with a coil that rotates in the magnetic field produced by a fixed field coil. The current in the field coil can be taken from a series or parallel connection to the armature coil, or (usually for larger motors) it can be supplied independently via some sort of controller. Excitation can be used to control the speed of DC motors or the power factor of synchronous motors.

What is electrical excitability?

I think you mean 'excitation'; this refers to the process by which a current sets up a magnetic field which, in turn, induces a voltage into a conductor or coil -usually applied to transformers, motors, and generators.


Electrical excitation of muscle fiber?

Electrical excitation of a muscle fiber. Skeletal muscle fibers (cells) can be stimulated either by amotor neuron in the body or by a voltage stimulator in the lab. Stimulation given by either method results in a depolarization of the sarcolemma. If the depolarization reaches threshold, an action potential (electrical signal) is initiated.
