Why a 104(0.1uF) cap to be connected in parallel with DC motors when connected to a uC via any line driver?

When a DC motor runs, the commutator touches the brushes momentarily very frequently which generates a high frequency noise in motor supply. The .1uF capacitor will show a low impedance for this noise and will bypass the this noise. If we do not use this capacitor the noise will travel in DC power supply of uC(micro controller) or any IC and the uC or IC will not function properly and in case of micro controller, restart may occur.

  2. YES reset means from the beginning. in micro controller we write coding in a particular language. unintentionally the micro controller is reset.
