DC motors are often used as the main actuator within control and mechatronics systems. a) Explain why DC motors are so common in this field of engineering, what are their advantages and disadvantages? b) Often DC motors are required to operate in both forward and reverse directions. Explain using sketches how this functionality can be achieved.
