Question 1 • Physical Science

Which reverses the flow of current through an electric motor?

Answer
A
brush
B
armature
C
commutator
D
battery

Explanation

The commutator reverses the direction of current in the motor’s armature coil every half-turn. This keeps the magnetic forces turning the armature in the same rotational direction. The armature is the rotating coil, while the brushes provide electrical contact with the commutator; neither reverses the current.
