===Meaning===
[[File:DCMotor.png|right|300px|thumb|A typical [[D.C. Motor]].]]
A '''D.C. Motor''' is an electrical [[motor]] which uses an [[electromagnet]] and [[Permanent Magnet|permanent magnets]] to spin an axle.
===About D.C. Motors===
: The '''D.C.''' stands for [[Direct Current]] because the [[motor]] uses a [[Direct Current]] to work which means it can be powered by a [[Electrical Cell|cell]] or [[battery]].
: When a [[Electrical Current|current]] passes through the [[electromagnet]] in the '''d.c. motor''' the [[electromagnet]] is [[attract]]ed to one of the [[Permanent Magnet|permanent magnets]] in the [[motor]]. This causes the [[electromagnet]] to move.
