DC Motors
The magnetic field for a motor may be provided by a permanent
magnet. When a dc level is "wiped" onto the commutator (the separated contacts connected to the coils of wire) by a set of brushes (not shown), the current flowing through the coils of wire creates magnetic fields around the coils that are either opposed or attracted by the poles of the permanent
magnet.

Ignition Systems
"
Upon the engine being turned over the armature rotates, and as the primary winding cuts the magnetic lines of force flowing from north to south poles of the permanent
magnet a current of low voltage is induced in the primary winding.
