Diagram shows a dc motor. What is the functions of brush carbon?

• Push the brush so it will always contact with the commutator.

• To contact with the commutator so the current from the battery enters the coil.

• Reverse the direction of current in the coil every half rotation so that the coil continues to turn in same direction
