In this section, the term “traditional DC motor” is used to describe the oldest and simplest design, which consists of two brushes delivering power via a rotating, sectioned com mutate to two or more electromagnetic coils mounted on the motor shaft. Brushless DC motors (in which DC is actually converted to a pulse train) are […]

solenoid What It Does,How It Works,Variants,Values,How to Use it,What Can Go Wrong
The term solenoid was historically used to describe any coil without a magnetic core. More recently and more commonly it describes a coil inside of which a cylindrical plunger moves in response to the magnetic field generated by the coil. In this encyclopedia, the term electromagnet has its own entry, and describes a coil with […]

voltage regulator What It Does,How It Works,Variants,Values,How to Use it,What Can Go Wrong
Correctly known as a linear voltage regulator to distinguish it from a switching regulator or DC-DC converter. However, the full term is not generally used, and “voltage regulator” is normally understood to mean a linear voltage regulator. What It Does A linear voltage regulator provides a tightly con trolled DC output, which it derives from […]

electromagnet What It Does,How It Works,Variants,Values,How to Use it,What Can Go Wrong
The term electromagnet is used here to mean a coil containing a core of ferromagnetic material that does not move relative to the coil. The core is used solely to create a magnetic field that attracts or repels other parts that have appropriate inherent magnetic properties. Where a center component moves in response to the […]
