Starter Motor:

A starter motor converts the electrical energy stored in the battery into mechanical energy to crank the engine for starting. A simple electric motor includes a horseshoe-shaped soft-iron yoke with field windings wound around each of the two pole pieces.

 The armature winding rotates between the pole-pieces with its ends attached to each half-segment of a split ring. The current from the positive terminal of the battery flows to the right-hand brush and segment, round the armature loop, and comes out of the left-hand segment and brush. It then circulates through the left-and right-hand yoke field windings and returns to the negative terminal of the battery.

Magnetic-torque Production:

When the current flows through the yoke field windings, it converts the yoke into an electromagnet due to which a magnetic field or flux is created between the pole-pieces. Similarly, due to the flow of current through the armature loop, concentric rings of magnetic flux are established around the two half-conductor cores. This mag­netic flux flows anticlockwise around the left-hand conduc­tor and clockwise around the right-hand conductor.

It can be seen from the figure that the magnetic lines of force between the yoke poles and those for the armature conductors travel in the same direction, and the two sets of lines merge and strengthen each other. This is indicated below the left-hand conductor and above the right-hand conductor. Conversely, where the yoke and armature magnetic fields travel in opposite directions, they neutralise each other.

Hence, the field strength above the left-hand conductor and below the right-hand conductor is very weak. The difference in the magnetic field strengths above and below each conductor gives rise to a net upward force, exerted on the left-hand conductor and a net downward force, on the right-hand conductor so that a clockwise-rotating torque is applied to the armature loop.

Commutation

When the battery supplies power to the armature loop, the interaction of the magnetic field rotates the loop, causing the two semiconductors to swap places with each other. In addition, this changes the direction of current flowing in the conductor relative to the north and south poles of the yoke. As a result, the loop reverses its direction of rotation and rotates backwards.

To have the armature loop continuously rotate in only one direction, the direction of current flowing in each half-loop must be reversed every half revolution, called commutation. This is accomplished by connecting the ends of the armature loop to a split ring. As a result, each half-ring segment contacts a different brush during each half revolution of the armature, so the direction of current flow within the armature loop is repeatedly reversed.
