Two Pole DC Electric Motor

Parts:

 Armature or rotor- the part of an electric generator or motor that contains the
main current-carrying winding. The armature usually consists of a coil of
copper wire wound around an iron or steel core. The coil and core are placed
in a magnetic field produced by one or more permanent magnets or
electromagnets. If the armature in a generator or motor is designed to rotate,
it is called a rotor; if it is a stationary part, it is called a stator.
 Commutator- is a rotary electrical switch in certain types of electric motors or
electrical generators that periodically reverses the current direction between
the rotor and the external circuit. In a motor, it applies power to the best
location on the rotor, and in a generator, picks off power similarly.
 Brushes- is a device which conducts current between stationary wires and
moving parts, most commonly in a rotating shaft. Typical applications include
electric motors, alternators and electric generators.
 Axle- is a central shaft for a rotating wheel or gear. In some cases the axle
may be fixed in position with a bearing or bushing sitting inside the hole in
the wheel or gear to allow the wheel or gear to rotate around the axle. In
other cases the wheel or gear may be fixed to the axle, with bearings or
bushings provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported.
Sometimes, especially on bicycles, the latter type is referred to as a spindle.
 Field magnet- is a magnet placed around the motor.
 Power Supply

Principle Behind the Motor

 - A motor uses magnets to create motion. If you have ever played with
magnets you know about the fundamental law of all magnets: Opposites
attract and likes repel. So if you have two bar magnets with their ends
marked "north" and "south," then the north end of one magnet will attract
the south end of the other. On the other hand, the north end of one magnet
will repel the north end of the other (and similarly, south will repel south).
Inside an electric motor, these attracting and repelling forces create
rotational motion.

Simple Electric Generator

Parts:

 Armature Coil- The power-producing component of an alternator, generator,

dynamo or motor. The armature can be on either the rotor or the stator.
  Slip Ring- electrical connections that are used to transfer power to and from
the rotor of an AC generator
 Stator/Permanent Magnet
 Shaft

Principle behind Generators

- A generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. The reverse
conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by a motor;
motors and generators have many similarities. A generator forces electric
charges to move through an external electrical circuit, but it does not create
electricity or charge, which is already present in the wire of its windings. It is
somewhat analogous to a water pump, which creates a flow of water but
does not create the water inside. The source of mechanical energy may be a
reciprocating or turbine steam engine, water falling through a turbine or
waterwheel, an internal combustion engine, a wind turbine, a hand crank,
compressed air or any other source of mechanical energy.
