What is a DC motor?

A DC motor is defined as a class of electrical motors that convert direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy.
A DC motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. In a DC motor, the input electrical energy is the direct current which is transformed into the mechanical rotation.

Types of DC motor

• Permanent Magnet DC Motor (PMDC Motor)
• Separately Excited DC Motor
• Self Excited DC Motor
• Shunt Wound DC Motor
• Series Wound DC Motor
• Compound Wound DC Motor
• Short shunt DC Motor
• Long shunt DC Motor
• Differential Compound DC Motor
