Question 10 • Lollar_8Science_Q1_25-26_RC

Which reverses the flow of current through an electric motor?

Answer
A
brush
B
battery
C
armature
D
commutator

Explanation

The commutator reverses the direction of current in the motor’s armature coils each half-turn. This keeps the magnetic forces turning the armature in the same rotational direction. The correct choice is the commutator; the brushes transfer current, but do not reverse it.
