Oersted discovered the, a Magnetic field is always produced around a current carrying wire.
This discovery led to the construction of D.C. motors and Electromagnets [Electric Bell, Rellay].

D.C. MOTOR :
Working principal : Electromagnetism.
When a current-carrying coil is in a magnetic field, it experiences a turning effect.
A DC motor runs on a direct current.
The coil is made of insulated copper wire.
It is free to rotate between the poles of the magnet.
The commutator, or split-ring, is fixed to the coil and rotates with it.
When the coil overshoots the vertical, the commutator changes the direction of the current through it, so the
forces change direction and keep the coil turning.
The brushes are two contacts which rub against the commutator and keep the coil connected to the battery.
They are usually made of carbon.
The maximum turning effect if when the coil is horizontal. There is no force when the coil is vertical (but
luckily it always overshoots this position).
