The tiny component of a motor or generator that transfers electrical current from the stationary wires (stator) to the revolving wires (rotor) is referred to as a carbon brush, also known as a motor brush. Typically composed of one or more carbon blocks, the brush may also have one or more shunts or terminals. Typically, a motor has many carbon brushes to carry electrical current.
