Question 23
H

A simple direct current motor contains a split-ring commutator. What does the commutator do?

[1]
A

It reverses the current in the coil every half turn, so rotation continues one way

B

It reverses the current in the coil every full turn, so rotation continues one way

C

It keeps the current in the coil constant, so the coil turns at a steady speed

D

It switches the current in the coil off every half turn, so the coil is not slowed
