Abstract
The aim of this report is to examine the main properties of a DC motor, its main applications and the characteristics of certain circuits that are used to control it. The report also seeks to give a general background on the equipment, including a slightly more in depth explanation of the DC motor itself. An explanation of certain key terms is included in the appendix. The goal of the motor speed control experiment is to explore the use of feedback in DC motor speed control applications and how this can be used to improve the speed regulations properties. Depending on what kind of feedback is used, the DC motor can be used in several different applications.
