Loop turns
counter- clockwise
Loop loses electron-flow
temporarily, momentum
keeps it turning.
Loop loses electron-flow
temporarily, momentum
Keeps it turning.
Loop continue to turn
counter- clockwise because
of split-ring commutator
even though the purple is
now on the right.
Force - Right Hand Rule

No current flow as
the gaps are next to
the brushes.
Only the momentum
of the rotor keeps it
turning.
