Why we use Carbon & graphite mixxed brushes in the DC motor?

Answer Posted / sahil joseph

According to the periodic table carbon lies in the list of
semiconductor having valency of 4 thus semiconductors have
the property that with increase in temp. their resistance
decreases. Thus when carbon brushes rub against the commutator
due to friction their temp. increases and resistance falls.
Thus they are used for collection of current in DC machines.
In AC systems slip rings are used.
