Electric motors do not produce electricity, they use electricity, and convert that energy to another form of energy, that we measure in horsepower. See related links.

If you connected the test leads of an ohmmeter to the brushes of a DC electric motor what reading would you read?

If you connect the test leads to the brushes of a DC electric motor, you would typically measure the resistance across the armature circuit. This reading can help you determine the condition of the armature winding, the brushes, and the connections.


How do you test ceiling fan motor?

To test a ceiling fan motor, first ensure the fan is powered off and unplugged for safety. Use a multimeter to check for continuity by placing the probes on the motor's terminals; a continuous circuit indicates the motor is functioning. Next, inspect for any visible damage or burnt connections. If the motor fails the continuity test or shows signs of damage, it may need repair or replacement.


What color of the flame test does antimony produce?

It produces a pale green, which can be mistaken for white.


Which physical test can be used to distinguish between a metal element and a non-metal element?

One physical test that can be used to distinguish between a metal element and a non-metal element is the ability to conduct electricity. Metals generally conduct electricity well, whereas non-metals are poor conductors. Another test is the luster or appearance - metals are usually shiny and have a metallic luster, while non-metals are dull in appearance.


How can you fix your plumbing snake if whenever you turn it on you hear the electric motor kick in but instead of turning it just hums?

It sounds like one of two problems, Either the belt is off, (if belt drive) Or the motor is locked up or not starting, To test this UNPLUG THE UNIT, and use your hand to see if the motor will turn, If not find out why not,,, If it will then the motor is bad or the start capacitor is bad.

What are some innovative ideas for a science fair project involving an electric motor?

One innovative idea for a science fair project involving an electric motor is to investigate the effect of different types of magnets on the motor's performance. Another idea could be to build a small-scale electric vehicle and test how different factors, such as weight or wheel size, impact its speed and efficiency.

What is the difference between and alternator and a generator?

Generator is the general term for mechanical devices that make electricity. Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) Alternator is a type of generator. It is one of the most efficient, light and durable. Ideal for use in the automotive industry. A Generator (dynamo) produces DC direct current, An alternator produces Alternating curent whih is then converted into DC current with rectifiers/diodes as used in cars. When cars had generators (dynamos) in them you could test them by running a current into them and if they were ok the would turn like an electric motor.


How can you fix your BMW 328i convertible electric roof which will not work?

Start with the electric motor. Use a jumper wire on the positive wire of the motor and a hot wire. Does it work? If so, then you have to test the wiring harness back to the relay/fuse, the activation switch, and the battery. If the motor didn't work, then you need to replace the motor. If the motor works, but the top doesn't, then you need to check for broken cables or binding in the roof structure.


When calcium chloride is dissolved in water will it conduct electricity?

Yes, calcium chloride dissociates into calcium ions (Ca^2+) and chloride ions (Cl^-) when dissolved in water. These ions are charged particles that can carry electric current, allowing the solution to conduct electricity.


How do you power an electric fan from the fuse box so it turns on when the engine is on?

with a test light check the fuses . find one that is hot only when the motor is running .


How do you test motor for burn?

To test a motor, use a megger (megohm meter) to test the insulation of the internal motor windings. Select a voltage to apply to the motor using an output from the megger that is higher that the operating voltage that the motor operates on.
