2 . The modulated carrier from the resonant circuit is ,ee* to an amplifier.
5 . The output of '%ve amplifying circuit can then be fed to a loudspeaker.

The most important qualities of a good explanation are clearness, accuracy and careful arrangement.
%xplain briefly how a system or an equipment of your choice works.

The electric motors are devices that transform the electrical energy in mechanical one. There are
motors to direct current and alternating current.
The working of motors comes of a physical principle discovered by !ndr- "arie !mp.re in /012. 3e
noted that an electrical wire placed in a magnetic field and crossed by a current, was submitted to a
mechanical strength.
The motor of direct current is composed of two distinct mechanical elements:
( T#e s"%"or: It is constituted of a magnetic circuit and its coil, "#e in*(cin$ coi! or in*(c"or, that
produces the inductive magnetic field when it is crossed by a direct current, it is called current of
excitation.
( T#e ro"or: It is the rotating part of the machine and it carries "#e in*(ce* coi!, it includes wires
witch cross the magnetic field.
To start the motor, it is necessary to apply a direct voltage to extremities of the induced coil, it is
crossed by a current and the rotor is submitted to a mechanical couple and turn.
Two voltage feed are necessary to use a motor to direct current:
( the first to feed the induced coil, and is delivered by the electric network.
( the second to feed the inducing coil and to produce the magnetic field and is delivered by the electric
network 4self excited motors5 or by an auxiliary voltage feed 4separated excitation motor5:
( the shunt motor 4motor of parallel excitation5,
( the motor of sery excitation,
( the motor of compound excitation.
These motors have so been used in the industry, but are currently replaced by the asynchronous motors.
The electric motors of direct current are reversible. They can transform the electrical energy in
mechanical energy6 it is the working in direct current generator.
