The Attempt at a Solution
NI-Prentice Hall DC Motor Theory states that The armature (rotor) of a DC motor has coils of wire wrapped around its core. The ends of each coil are terminated at commutator segments located on the left end of the shaft. The brushes make contact on the commutator to provide current for the armature.
