Hello, i am building a mouse trap that uses DC motor to remove a stick that will make trap close, the trigger is a simple normally closed switch . When the mouse enters the trap the platform will then remove itself from holding the switch so then the motor will rotate. Im planning to use a capacitor to make this movement single burst but i dont know much about capacitors and would probably make the motor somewhat weak and wont be able to close the trap. So for now the switch only makes the motor rotate but untill i reinitiate the trap, it will continue to rotate,. So the circuit is closed and working however the motor gets stuck ,.
So in short my question is
Would it break the motor if voltage passes thru even if its denied the rotation?
I hope my explanation is clear, feel free to ask questions and ill be glad to hear any suggestions. Thank you in advance
