A Simple Rotating Loop between Curved Pole Faces The simplest rotating dc machine is shown below:
•It consists of a single loop of wire rotating about a fixed axis. •The rotating part is called rotor, and the stationary part is the stator. •The magnetic field for the machine is supplied by the magnetic north and south poles. •Since the air gap is of uniform width, the reluctance is the same everywhere under the pole faces.

•The loops 1 and 3 have rotated into the gap between the poles, so the voltage across each of them is zero. •The brushes of the machine are shorting out commutator segments ab and cd. This happens just at the time when the loops between these segments have 0V across them, so shorting out the segments creates no problem.
