Stator
Encyclopedia : S : ST : STA : Stator
The stator is the stationary part of an electric motor. Depending on the configuration of the motor the stator may act as the field magnet, interacting with the armature to create motion. The stator may be either a permagnet or an electromagnet. Electromagnetic stators are used in wound field DC motors.
The non-stationary part on an electric motor is the rotor.
Stators and rotors are also in turbines.
