Elena makes a table to organize the functions of electric motor components.

A 2 column table with 2 rows. The first column is labeled component with entries brush, commutator. The second column is labeled function with entries X, Y.

Which functions belong in the cells marked X and Y?

X: Conducts current to the armature and reverses direction of current
Y: Rotates as a result of changing magnetic forces
X: Rotates as a result of changing magnetic forces
Y: Conducts current to the armature and reverses direction of current
X: Allows current to flow into the commutator
Y: Conducts current to the armature and reverses direction of current
X: Allows current to flow into the commutator
Y: Rotates as a result of changing magnetic forces

X = Allows current to flow into the commutator
Y = Conducts current to the armature and reverses direction of current

Explanation: Brushes are the stationary contacts that let current reach the rotating commutator; the commutator (mounted on the armature) reverses the coil current to keep the torque in the same direction and conducts between brushes and the armature coils.
