A motor turns due to the interaction between magnetic fields and electric current. When electric current flows through the motor's coils, it generates a magnetic field that interacts with permanent magnets or other magnetic fields in the motor. This interaction produces a rotational force, or torque, causing the motor's rotor to turn. The continuous supply of current and the design of the motor allow for sustained rotation.

What characteristic of magnets is important in making a motor turn?

The characteristic of magnets important in making a motor turn is the ability to create a magnetic field. In an electric motor, interactions between the magnetic fields of the permanent magnets and the electromagnets cause the motor to turn by generating a rotating magnetic field that drives the rotation of the motor's rotor.


What wll happen if the starting winding in a split pase motor fail to energize?

The motor would not start rotating. The motor will just hum and the rotor will be stationary. If you can get the rotor to start turning the motor will still run on its run winding.I have a cement mixer that has a motor with a burnt out start winding. All I have to do is turn the barrel and the motor will start turning over. Without the start winding you have a choice of which way the motor will turn. If I turn the mixer barrel the opposite direction, the barrel will turn that way until I turn the unit off.

What is meant by load on a motor?

It is basically the work the motor is doing. In your car the motor turns the crankshaft which in turn moves the car. The resistance applied by the crankshaft against the job of the motor to turn it, represents the load.


How do you know if motor is locked up?

A motor that is locked up cannot make a rotation. The motor will not turn over or start. Try to turn the main pulley. When the pulley cannot be by just, the motor is locked up.


Would the motor turn if only the armature were excited?

A motor will turn when only the armature is excited, if there is enough residual magnetism in the field.


Why can't I use a 5hp electic motor to turn a 10hp wheel?

Because a 5hp motor does not have enough power to turn a 10hp load.
