When two sticks are rubbed together When two rocks are banged together When current flows through a wire When no current flows through a wire
Use more turns of wire and a bigger current Use more turns of wire and a smaller current Use red wire and an iron core Use red wire and a copper core
Hits part of the circuit when there is too much resistance Disconnects the circuit when there is too much resistance Disconnects the supply when there is too much current Disconnects the supply when there is too little current

Transfers charge into current Transfers electrical energy into kinetic energy Converts voltage into current Converts voltage into resistance
Divides the commutator to make it last longer Reverses the direction of the current every half turn Reverses the direction of the current every turn Splits one motor into two
To keep a DC motor turning in the same direction Only for large motors Only for generators Where a motor might spin too quickly and wear out
