A rotation speed of 3000 revolutions per minute(RPM) produces 50 Hz, and 3600 RPM produces 60 Hz. The electric current in North  more...

Basic Electrical Theory - Electricity and Magnetism ...hand, magnetic charges do not exist - Magnetic fields are generated solely by moving electric charges. The three primary forces in electricity are voltage, current flow and resistance. Voltage is the force that pushes the current through electrical circuits. Current (which is measured in amperes) is the rate of flow of electrical current. Resistance is the total opposition to the flow of  more...

Direct Current Motors and Generators ...is passed through the armature of a DC motor, a torque is generated by magnetic reaction, and the armature revolves. Adjustable speed is difficult to obtain with motors whose armatures are connected to fixed frequency power lines (AC motors). Here is where DC motors shine; their rotating field speed depends on the rotor speed itself. The speed of DC series motors varies with load, and torque  more...
