- Armature
-
- The armature or
- rotor is the
- rotating element in
- your car's
- alternator. Inside
- the armature, coils
- of wire surrounded
- by a soft iron
- shell form a
- multi-pole
- electromagnet.
- Current is carried
- to the armature
- coils via brushes
- and slip rings on
- the armature shaft.
- As the poles move
- past the stator
- coils, current is
- induced in the
- stator coils.
