This document contains headings about the basics and operating principles of DC electric motors, including: the differences between two pole and four pole DC motors, Fleming's left and right hand rules which describe the relationship between magnetic fields, current, and force/voltage in motors and generators, how a commutator works in a DC motor, the construction and winding of the armature in DC motors, and how voltage is generated in a DC machine.
