SUMMARY
The strength of the solid magnet in a brushed DC motor significantly influences its efficiency and performance. A stronger magnet allows for fewer turns of wire, reducing winding resistance losses and potentially increasing the motor's efficiency. However, both strong and weaker magnets can produce motors with high horsepower and RPM, depending on the design and power source. Ultimately, real-world limitations dictate the maximum power output of any motor.
