Carbon brushes are used to connect the rotating commutator of a DC machine with the external circuit. Carbon is selected because

  • it has a negative temperature coefficient of resistance, i.e. its resistance falls with a rise in temperature.
  • it is self-lubricating.
  • it quickly shapes itself to the curve of the commutator.
