What is the purpose of field coil in a electric motor?

The field coil in an electric motor creates a magnetic field when electricity flows through it. This magnetic field interacts with the armature, causing it to rotate and generate mechanical motion. The field coil determines the strength and direction of the magnetic field, influencing the motor's efficiency and performance.


What is the function of a motor?

Motor functions are the movements of the muscles. Some are controlled by the brain and some are automatic (heart, digestive system). There are gross motor movements such as walking and fine motor movements such as you would use while picking a tiny piece of lint from a fabric.


What is the purpose of a centrifugal switch in an automatic washer?

As the android, Data, from Star Trek would say, it's to assure the drum is operating within normal parameters. If the drum begins to spin too fast the centrifugal switch (actually two switches in unison) cuts off electrical power to the motor to prevent it running away.


What size electric motor do you need to run an air compressor I have a furnace blower motor. Would that be suitable or do I need a heavier duty one?

It would all depend on the size of the compressor. If it's a small one(like for an airbrush gun) it might just work, but if it's a compressor to power impact wrenches or similar it'd probably not work.


What's the purpose of a stepper motor?

A stepper motor is used to convert electrical pulses into precise mechanical movements. It is commonly used in applications that require accurate positioning and control, such as 3D printers, CNC machines, and robotic systems. Stepper motors are known for their ability to move in discrete steps and maintain position without the need for feedback sensors.
