In D.C. motor construction, with regard to the individual armature coils' ends, which statement is true?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic DC motor construction: armature, commutator, brushes, and field windings • Function of the commutator in a DC motor and what physically connects to it • Difference between armature coils and field windings and where each is located

💭 Think About

• Picture the path that current takes: from the external circuit, through the brushes, through what component next, and then into the armature coils? • Ask yourself: which component must the ends of the rotating armature coils connect to so that current can be switched as the armature turns? • Eliminate any options that describe parts which are normally stationary (not on the rotating armature) or that confuse armature with field components.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which part of a DC motor actually rotates and which parts are stationary. • Identify which component is made of multiple segmented bars and is mounted on the shaft of the armature. • Confirm whether field windings are on the stator (stationary part) or on the rotor (armature) in a typical DC motor.
