DC motors are categorized into several types based on their construction and operational characteristics. Below are the circuit diagrams for the most common types of DC motors:
### 1. **Permanent Magnet DC Motor (PMDC)**
- **Description**: This motor uses permanent magnets to create the magnetic field instead of field windings.
- **Circuit Diagram**:
- **Components**: Armature, Commutator, Brushes, and Permanent Magnets.

### 2. **Shunt Wound DC Motor**
- **Description**: The field windings are connected in parallel (shunt) with the armature winding. This configuration offers good speed regulation.
- **Circuit Diagram**:
- **Components**: Armature, Field Windings (Shunt), Commutator, Brushes.

### 3. **Series Wound DC Motor**
- **Description**: In this motor, the field windings are connected in series with the armature winding. It provides high starting torque.
- **Circuit Diagram**:
- **Components**: Armature, Field Windings (Series), Commutator, Brushes.

### 4. **Compound Wound DC Motor**
- **Description**: This motor is a combination of both shunt and series wound motors. It has both series and shunt field windings, providing the benefits of both.
- **Circuit Diagram**:
- **Components**: Armature, Series Field Windings, Shunt Field Windings, Commutator, Brushes.

### 5. **Separately Excited DC Motor**
- **Description**: The field winding is powered by a separate external power supply, allowing independent control of the field current.
- **Circuit Diagram**:
- **Components**: Armature, Separate Field Supply, Field Windings, Commutator, Brushes.
- **Diagram**:

These diagrams provide a basic visual representation of the different types of DC motors. The key difference lies in how the field winding (or magnetic field) is generated and connected relative to the armature.
