Question

The armature of an electric motor consists of which of the following parts?

1. (i) Soft iron core
2. (ii) Coil
3. (iii) Magnets

• A. 1, 3
• B. 1 only
• C. 3 only
• D. 2, 3

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1, 3

The armature of an electric motor includes a soft iron core and magnets to create a magnetic field. The armature includes a soft iron core to concentrate the magnetic field. Coils in the armature generate magnetic fields when current flows through them. The interaction of the armature's magnetic field with external magnets produces torque. The armature rotates due to the magnetic force, creating mechanical motion
