Question:
Commercial electric motors do not use
(a) an electromagnet to rotate the armature
(b) effectively large number of turns of conducting wire in the current carrying coil
(c) a permanet magnet to rotate the armature id a soft iron on which the coil is wound.
Solution:
(c).
Explanation : In commercial motor, armature rotates in the mag-netic field produced by an electromagnet. The strength of such magnetic field can
be increased to the desired value. However, a permanent magnet provides a fixed and weak magnetic field.
