Answer:

A _commutator_ is used in a motor to switch the direction of the magnetic field created by the current.

The rotating part of a motor that holds the electromagnets is called the __armature___.

Electric current passes through the _brushes_ and into the electromagnets in an electric motor.

A motor turns _electrical_ energy into _mechanical_ energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

A commutator, which is a split ring rotary switching device, reverses the direction of the current between the external circuit and the rotor. Reversing the current reverses the magnetic field.

The armature comprises the rotating part of the motor and the electromagnets

A brush is the electrical contact for conducting current through the moving and stationary parts of an electric motor

An electric motor turns electrical energy into mechanical energy.
