1. centrifugal force
The force which draws a body constrained to move in a curved path away from the centre of rotation. It is really due to a tangential impulse and by some physicists is called the centrifugal component of tangential velocity. It has to be provided against in generator and motor armatures, by winding them with wire or bands to prevent the coils of wire from spreading or leaving their bed upon the core.
