: For motors, current in a wire creates a magnetic field that interacts with a second field (usually from a permanent magnet or electromagnet), producing a Lorentz force that turns the rotor.
(electrical machines) are electromechanical energy converters that use magnetic fields to transform mechanical energy into electrical energy (generators) or electrical energy into mechanical motion (motors). Core Principles and Components Elektricne masine
: The stationary outer part, often containing field magnets or windings. Rotor : The rotating inner part supported by bearings. : For motors, current in a wire creates
: Convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. : For motors
: Run on direct current. They often use a commutator to periodically reverse the current flow in rotor windings to maintain rotation.
: Run on alternating current and are further divided into:
