In a vacuum cleaner, the DC motor powers the fan that creates suction. As the motor spins, it drives the fan blades, which pull air and debris into the vacuum. The debris-laden air then moves through the vacuum cleaner's filtration system, trapping dirt and dust while the clean air is released back into the room.

Do a Vacuum cleaner needs a magnet?

If the vacuum cleaner is powered by electricity this is used to turn the electric motor which is needed to create the suction or vacuum. That motor either has permanent magnets inside it, or the current passes through many "turns" of wire to create magnets when you switch the cleaner on. Early experiment in electricity showed that if a wire is moved in a magnetic field some current is created. Similarly, if a magnet is moved near to a wire the same result occurs. So, yes the cleaner does need a magnet.


Why current is supplied to DC motor?

What supplies a dc motor is not current, but voltage. Current is what flows in the circuit formed by the dc motor and for the charge. That current varies according to the resistance of the circuit.


Can a solar cell drive a motor directly?

No, a solar cell alone cannot drive a motor directly. The power generated by a solar cell is typically in the form of direct current (DC), which needs to be converted into alternating current (AC) or stored in a battery before it can be used to power a motor. A motor requires a stable and consistent power source which may require additional components to work efficiently with a solar cell.


How do you calculate how much electricity a DC motor will generate?

A DC motor will generate electricity, if used in reverse. IE, rotate it and electricity will be generated. The voltage will be dependant on the speed of rotation. The capacity (Amperage) will depend on the size of the windings and diameter of copper wire involved. Limitation to power and speed will also be limited by the construction of the commutator. All these variables are difficult to predict and unlikely a formula is available. You will need empirical means and careful testing, especially as the motor was not intended to be used in this way.


Does a fluorescent ballast work in a DC V supply?

No, fluorescent ballasts are designed to work with AC voltage supplies. They require the alternating current to function properly and cannot operate on a direct current (DC) power source.

Can DC series motor work on ac and DC and why?

A dc series motor can work on dc and ac because dc motors are totally reversible.


Can Iuse the brushless dc motor drive to power up my vacuum cleaner?

It is possible to use that kind of motor, but it's also possible to use other types, like an AC motor. Also, i wouldn't suggest using it because of the high cost.


How does a DC brushless motor work?

To state it simply, a DC brushless motor is not a DC motor. It is an AC motor with an inverter (or electronic commutator) on the front end to make the AC, so you can use a DC input.

Can a dc motor work in ac?

No it cant


When ac motor is connected with DC supply?

Basically AC motors would not work on DC supply but there's however an exception for a Universal motor also known as a series motor. This is the only motor as far as I know that work on both AC and DC.


Can a motor works as a generator?

since the physical construction of a DC motor and DC generator is the same,it can work either way.in other words,yes a DC motor can work as a DC generator(if you drive it by a primemover it will produce electricity).however its not possible with all AC motors.


How does the starting of synchronous motor using dc generator as a load work-?

Starting of the synchronous motor using the DC generator creates a magnetic field.


What will happen if you use AC voltage instead of DC voltage?

For some equipment it doesn't matter, other types of equipment will be destroyed. For a simple electric heater or an incandescent bulb AC or DC are acceptable, provided the rms voltage of the AC is equal to the DC voltage. If the heater has a time switch, DC is unacceptable. A DC motor may or may not work with AC depending on its type and size. The commutator motor as used in vacuum cleaners is essentially a DC motor, but most types of AC motor are not interchangeable to DC. Electronic circuits usually required a DC supply and if AC is applied many of the components will be destroyed.


What is a motor design that works with either an AC source or a DC source?

A variable speed module in a motor can work with ac or dc source


How do car generators work?

A car generator is a DC motor. If you apply power to a working DC motor, it will turn the armature and produce work. If you turn the armature of a working DC motor, it will produce power. Generators in cars were replaced during the early 1960's with alternators.
