Step 1: Setting Up the Arduino Uno: Begin by connecting your Arduin...
Introduction to DC motors A DC motor is an electric motor that converts direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy. They operate based on the principle of "Force acting on a coil of wire in a magnetic field". This principle states that when a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, the conductor experiences a mechanical force. The direction of this force is determined by Fleming's left-hand rule, and the magnitude of the force can be expressed as: F= B*I*L ( in newtons) where F- force(newtons) B- magnetic field (Tesla) I- Current ( Ampere) L- Length of the conductor. According to Fleming's left-hand rule, the direction of the force is perpendicular to both the conductor and the magnetic field. Tip: if the direction of current flow is reversed, the direction of rotation of the motor changes also. Controlling DC motors DC motors find use in various applications where ope...
