Function and Importance

Windshield wipers are now standard in every car made in the world, and they have a crucial function for those of us who need cars to get around during raining weather. Windshield wipers are a common invention in modern times that we take for granted, but the source of their technological advancement stems from the understanding of electrical circuits. Many of the modern electric windshield wipers contain a battery for their power that is a direct current and a field magnet. These components act together to create a rotational motion that you see on the front of your car when you drive in the rain.
