motors
The types of motors are: stepper, brushed DC, permanent magnet synchronous, AC induction, and switched reluctance (SR).
Trolling motors are electric, and use 12-volt.

How they work
There is a magnetic field between the poles of the magnet going from North to South. There is an electromagnet on any current-carrying wire hen it cuts across lines of magnetic field. This is known as the catapult effect. The electricity flows through the opposite sides of the coil in opposite direction. This means that one side of the coil has an upwards force and the other side a downward force. The coil is pivoted in the center so the forces form a conductor, which makes the coil rotate. The current is fed into the coil through conducting wire which make contact with the commutator. The commutator reverses the direction of the current through the coil every half turn. This causes the coil to continue to rotate in the North direction.
Commercial motors have several feet of wire arranged in different directions and strong electromagnets.
