What are the components of a starter motor?

A starter motor typically consists of several key components: the armature, which is the rotating part; the stator, which provides a magnetic field; the commutator, which helps transfer electrical current to the armature; and the brushes, which conduct electricity from the power source to the commutator. Additionally, it includes a solenoid that engages the motor with the engine's flywheel and a housing that encases these components. Together, these parts work to initiate the engine's operation by converting electrical energy into mechanical motion.
