Do you know the difference between a stator and a rotor? An electric motor is a rotating machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Electric motors operate by the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and an electric current in a wire winding to generate a force that results in shaft rotation. This course will address the two general types of electric motors by describing how they are constructed and the principles of operation of each type.

The following key questions are answered in this module:
What is an electric motor? An electric motor is a rotating machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
What are the two general types of electric motors? The two types of electric motors are the AC (alternating current) motors and the DC (direct current) motors.
What is the motor stator? The motor stator is the stationary part of the motor's electromagnetic circuit and usually consists of windings located in the stator of the AC motor.
What is the Alternating Current? Alternating Current is described as current that flows in one direction and then reverses and flows in the opposite direction.
What are the two windings DC motors consist of? DC motors consist of the field winding and armature winding.
