How does a split ring commutator work?

• Swaps the contact every full turn, so that the left-hand and right-hand arms of the coil always experience a force in the same direction.

• Swaps the contact every half turn, so that the left-hand and right-hand arms of the coil do not experience a force in the same direction.

• Swaps the contact every half turn, so that the left-hand and right-hand arms of the coil always experience a force in the same direction.
