Question 14 • FL-2003310-Physical Science CR

Which best compares a brush and a commutator in an electric motor?

Answer
A
Both rotate when the motor is on.
B
Both carry electrical current from a power source.
C
Both remain stationary when the motor is on.
D
Both have a permanent magnetic field.

Explanation

Both the brush and the commutator conduct electrical current in the motor circuit. The brush stays in contact with the rotating commutator to transfer current from the power source to the motor’s rotating coil; unlike choice A, they do not both rotate.
