Does the alternating current supplied to the armature winding of a DC motor gets converted to dc by a commutator before it flows through the armature coil of the DC motor?

The commutator is a rotating switch, which reverse the polarity of the generated voltage every half-cycle. So it acts to rectify the output voltage.

What does the brushes and commentator in a D C motor do?
i have never heard of a commentator in a motor, think you may be mistaking that word. inside an electric motor you have a stator and windings, as polarity changes it spins the stator and the brushes transfer the charge to the device being used.. I think they meant commutator. If you break an electric motor down to 2 parts, you have a commutator and an armature. the armature being the shaft that basically floats on bearings, and the commutator being the hull where the stator is. (and there is such thing as a brushless electric motor.) the stator does not spin. that is the term used for the magnets that pull the electric field supplied by the brushes. To make even more simple, imagine a shaft floating on bearings with 2 magnets on it, one positive and one negative ( the armature) and this shaft is inside of a ring of electricity the is flowing in one direction, its going to pull the negative and push the positive (the commutator) and cause the armature to spin.
What does ac stand for the mains voltage supplied in the UK?
AC stands for Alternating Current and DC stands for Direct Current.
What is the electrical term excitation mean?
Excitation is normally used to describe the current supplied to the field winding of a motor. A motor has a rotating armature with a coil that rotates in the magnetic field produced by a fixed field coil. The current in the field coil can be taken from a series or parallel connection to the armature coil, or (usually for larger motors) it can be supplied independently via some sort of controller. Excitation can be used to control the speed of DC motors or the power factor of synchronous motors.
Which the effect of the increase of the armature voltage on the speed of a direct-current separately excited motor in case of constant load?
Increasing the armature voltage would increase the speed. In a separately excited dc motor the speed adjusts so that the back emf generated by the armature is a little less than the supply voltage. The difference, divided by the resistance, gives the current drawn, which is also proportional to the shaft torque supplied to the load.
Does a ac generator have a brush?
AC generators (alternators) usually have a dc supply to the rotor coils, supplied through slip-rings with carbon brushes. Because the slip-rings can be made very smooth the life of the brushes is greatly extended when compared with brushes on the commutator of a dc motor or an ac commutator motor. Cars generate electrical power with a three-phase AC alternator, connected directly to the battery through rectifier diodes. The alternator voltage is controlled by the voltage regulator, which works by controlling the dc supply to the rotor.
What part of the motor is current supplied to on a ac motor?
commutator, armature
Would a DC motor turn if only the armature were supplied DC voltage?
if there are magnets on the stator and the commutator is phased properly this is known as a permanent magnet dc motor the starting torque is dependent on armature current and the strength of the magnet the speed is directly proportional to the armature voltage a shunt motor needs the field energized for starting. more field more starting torque

What is the electric current supplied to most homes celled?
alternating current
How does relay works?
Current is supplied to the electromagnet and magnitised and attract the soft iron armature. Then it closes the contact allowing the current to flow.

What happens if load torque is same at all speed in separately excited dc motor?
It means that the armature must be supplied with a constant-current source.
How does boiling occurs?
Boiling occurs when heat is supplied. Water is converted into vapor.
What is the difference between a seperately excited DC generator and DC shunt generator?
The difference between a separately excited DC generator and a Shunt DC generator is that for a separately excited Dc generator , the excitation field winding is supplied by an external source different from that supplying the armature while for shunt generator, the excitation field windind is connected in series with the armature and supplied by a single source.
What does ac stand for the mains voltage supplied in the UK?
AC stands for Alternating Current and DC stands for Direct Current.
How does a small generator produce current?
It doesn't! It produces voltage. It does this by the relative movement between an armature (winding into which a voltage is induced) and a magnetic field (set up by field windings). Either the armature rotates inside a fixed field (small generators) or the field rotates within a fixed armature (larger generators).Current is only supplied when a load is connected to the generator.
