A 'commutator' has several functions. The three main functions are: (a) to interconnect the individual armature windings, (b) to provide a means of connecting the rotating windings to the fixed, external, conductors, and (c) to act as a rotary rectifier -i.e. to change the a.c. voltage naturally induced into the rotating armature into a d.c. voltage at its terminals.

What are the jobs of the gears in an electric pencil sharpener?
the basic Boston pencil sharpeners are really very simple you have a pretty much simple ring and pinion system the pinion (motor)spins at 15 revolutions to 1 revolution of the ring (sharpener) to turn said sharpener
When you heat a metal ring does the hole become larger or smaller?
It expands; example/ If you take a bearing for a ( motor shaft-not an engine, an electric MOTOR ) to install a new bearing after removing the others simple heat the new one to a moderate temperature with gloved hands slide it onto the shaft. It cools rapidly and is on the shaft as though it was pressed on.
Wire gauze functions?
Wire gauze can be used to support a container (such as a beaker or flask) during heating. When the Bunsen burner flame is beneath it, with a tripod, the wire gauze helps to spread the flame (and heat) out evenly over the container. It is frequently used in combination with an iron ring and ring stand with a Bunsen burner underneath it (see the Related Questions for more information about an iron ring, ring stand, and Bunsen burner & tripod). A clay triangle serves a similar purpose, except that a clay triangle is used for a crucible instead.
What part of compass surrounds a piece of glass with a short luminous line etched in its surface?
the bezial ring
What is the use of the iron ring in the laboratory?
An Iron ring is exactly what it is called an "Iron Ring" An Iron Ring is primarily used in a Laboratory. It holds glassware such as a a funnel or other objects. It is often attached to an Iron Ring.
A split metal ring that acts as a switch in an electric motor is called a?
commutator
How do you change an ac motor to a DC motor?
Ac motor have slip ring, to remove the slip ring,connected to the commutator its a dc motor.
Which part of an electric motor connects the power supply to the split-ring and coil?
The part of an electric motor that connects the power supply to the split-ring and coil is called the commutator. It works in conjunction with the brushes, which are conductive contacts that transfer electrical current from the power supply to the rotating coil through the commutator. This setup allows for the continuous rotation of the coil by reversing the current direction at the appropriate moments.
What does the split ring commutator do in a motor?
It generates a alternating current to keep the motor rotating in the same direction.
How does the commutator reverse the current in a motor?
Commutator is a split ring which reverses the current .when the commutator turns around due to magnetic force and because of it even the current gets reversed
What is a reversing switch that rotates with the coil in am electric motor and reverses the direction of the current every half turn?
It's called a 'split-ring commutator'. It changes the naturally-produced a.c. into d.c.
What does the brushes and commentator in a D C motor do?
i have never heard of a commentator in a motor, think you may be mistaking that word. inside an electric motor you have a stator and windings, as polarity changes it spins the stator and the brushes transfer the charge to the device being used.. I think they meant commutator. If you break an electric motor down to 2 parts, you have a commutator and an armature. the armature being the shaft that basically floats on bearings, and the commutator being the hull where the stator is. (and there is such thing as a brushless electric motor.) the stator does not spin. that is the term used for the magnets that pull the electric field supplied by the brushes. To make even more simple, imagine a shaft floating on bearings with 2 magnets on it, one positive and one negative ( the armature) and this shaft is inside of a ring of electricity the is flowing in one direction, its going to pull the negative and push the positive (the commutator) and cause the armature to spin.
What is the function of brushes and a split ring commutator and where are these items used?
Brushes and a split-ring commutator are key components in DC electric motors and generators. The brushes, typically made of carbon, maintain electrical contact with the rotating commutator, which reverses the direction of current flow in the windings as the rotor spins. This action ensures that the torque generated by the motor remains in the same direction, allowing for continuous rotation. In generators, the commutator converts the alternating current produced in the windings into direct current for output.
Purpose of slip rings?
slip ring is connect on shaft of motor to collect current from commutator without any complicate connection and with use of it resistors can be insert in circuit and therefore speed control of motor can easily achive
How do you ring out an electric motor?

What is the basic difference between carbon brush of AC slip ring motor and carbon brush of Direct current commutator motor?
The main difference is in how the carbon brushes are used. In an AC slip ring motor, the brushes transfer power to the rotor through slip rings, whereas in a DC commutator motor, the brushes switch the current direction on the rotating armature to maintain torque and rotation. Additionally, the design and composition of the brushes may vary to accommodate the specific requirements of each motor type.
How does torque reverse in a dc motor after half a revolution?
The point is that, with a d.c. motor, we don't want the torque to reverse every half-revolution, if the motor is to continue running in the same direction. To achieve this, we use a split-ring commutator/brushes, which rotates with the armature coil. Essentially, a split-ring commutator has twofunctions: (1) to enable us to connect the rotating coil to an external supply circuit and (b) to act as a rotating switch, ensuring that the armature current always flows in the same direction relative to the motor's magnetic field. Thanks to (b), the machine will continue to rotate in the same direction.Without a split-ring commutator, after half a revolution, the armature current will reverse direction relative to the magnetic field, the torque will reverse, and the motor will reverse direction.
