Best Answer

as it works on induced voltage on rotor according to faradays law of electromagnetic inductio ac motors called as induction motor

The AC motors works in the same principle as that of a Transformer. The AC supply is given to the stator and a rotating flux is set up in it. According to Faraday's Law, a voltage is induced in the rotor conductors as these conductors are in closed circuit, a current starts flowing through them as a result a magnetic flux is created around the conductors. Due to the interaction of the fluxes a torque is setup and the rotor rotates.

Can AC motor work on DC?

use a inverter to change dc to ac or couple it to a ac motor making it a motor generator. Comment: AC motors cannot run on DC since their principle of operation based on induction. There's an exception,however, and thats for Universal Series motor which can run on either AC or DC.
