Carbon brushes are consumable parts that conduct electricity from the stationary part of the motor (stator) to the rotating part (armature). They are designed to wear down over time as they make contact with the commutator. Proper seating and consistent contact are essential for efficient motor operation and to prevent damage to the commutator.
