In any electric motor, rotation is caused by two magnetic fields that oppose each other. In some motors, both fields are created by coils of wire - electromagnets. In other motors, one field is electromagnetic and the other comes from one or more permanent magnets. In the permanent magnet (PM) motor, the magnetic field from the permanent magnet(s) are constant (obviously) and the other field is turned on and off, or 'commutated' at just the right time so the fields oppose, causing rotation. Commutators can be mechanical - you have probably seen the brass segments around the rotor's end that the brushes touch - this is the commutator. In some motors, mostly small cooling fans and the like, commutation can be electronic using position sensors and switching transistors. These motors are called 'brushless'. Since the power of the motor comes from the opposing magnetic fields pushing on each other, the PM motor is only as powerful as the magnets used in its construction. There is quite a bit of research going on to create very powerful magnets for high performance PM motors used in radio controlled cars, planes and other applications where a powerful yet small motor is needed.
A permanent magnet motor operates by using magnets to generate a magnetic field that interacts with electrical currents, resulting in a rotational force. This force creates mechanical motion in the motor, enabling it to drive various applications such as appliances, tools, and vehicles without the need for external power to maintain the magnetic field.

Is magnetite a magnet?
No, it's a permanent magnet. It consists of an iron oxide, and iron is a permanent magnet.
A magnet made of a material that keeps its magnetism is called?
Permanet Magnet
What kind of magnet is a magnetized nail?
A magnetized nail is a temporary magnet, known as an induced magnet. It becomes magnetized when it comes into contact with a permanent magnet, aligning its magnetic domains in the same direction. This temporary magnetism can be lost if the nail is no longer in contact with a permanent magnet.
Is iron a permanent magnet?
No, iron is not a permanent magnet. It can be magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field but will lose its magnetism once the external magnetic field is removed. Permanent magnets, on the other hand, retain their magnetism without the need for an external magnetic field.
Is a bar magnet a permanent magnet?
A permanent magnet is a magnet which will keep its magnetism for a very long time and is difficult to change. No, As I think a permanent magnet means they have abilities to hold the magnetism when they are magnetized. Such as Alnico permanent magnets, but in fact, they can be demagnetized,such as high temperature, hit each other,pulse waves, out magnetic field influence...What's more, different permanent magnetic material, have different abilities on holding magnetism,they can be used in different environments. you can find some details from some manufacturers website, to learn some knowledges.
What is the motor parts of the body?
The wires and the permanent magnet
What is a permanent magnet synchronous motor?
combination of sinusoidally wound stator and a permanent magnet for rotor design is the basis of PMSM.
Where can a permanent magnet motor be purchased?
One can purchase a permanent magnet motor online from Grainger where they have many available for around $400. One can also find them for purchase on ebay.
How is a DC permanent-magnet motor reversed?
Reverse the polarity of armature windings of the motor.
What are the two types of motors?
permanent magnet motors and series motor
What part of an electric motor repels the poles of the permanent magnet?
commutator
What is PMDC motors?
PMDC-Permanent Magnet DC motor is a DC machine where the Permanent Magnets form the stator of the machine instead of conventional Field winding. It works on the same principle of electromagnetic induction.
How simple motor works?
A simple motor works by passing an electric current through a coil of wire, creating a magnetic field. This magnetic field interacts with a permanent magnet to generate a force that causes the coil to spin. This spinning motion is what drives the motor to perform its function.
Two advantages of a permanent magnet type starter motor?
size and weight
What are the two types of dc motors?
permanent magnet motors and series motor
Is a refrigerator an example of a permanet magnet or magnetic material?
A refrigerator is not a magnet, however it does contain an electric motor, and within that motor are permanent magnets (as well as electromagnets).
What is a permanent magnet motor?
A motor with permanent magnets rather than field coilsA:A non-functional contraption often peddled as a free-energy generator.
