Commutators are used on DC motors. the term is also correctly applied ( mainly by the French,) to a balance wheel on a watch. the costly Washington Chronometer ( intended to compete with the Hamilton) had 23 Jewels- plus- Solid Gold commuator screws) The only Pocket watch known to have this refinement in the US.

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 are reasons for arcing at the commutator?
A shorted coil or shorted coils in the rotor will cause arcing at the commutator. It should also be noted that if the brushes are damaged badly enough where they make contact with the commutator, this can cause arcing. Oh, and let's not forget that a stuck brush or brush spring will prevent a brush from making proper contact with the commutator. Arcing can result from that, too.
How does a dc generator differ from an ac generator in methods of working?
A DC generator has a commutator, a rotary switching system, that connects a different winding of the rotor, for each fraction of a turn. Thus keeping the polarity one way only. The stator windings are fed a proportion of the DC generated, to make an electromagnet. The power is taken off from the rotor via the commutator switching system. An AC generator supplies the rotor with a DC current, via slip rings on the shaft, to exite it. (Makes the rotor an electromagnet) The power is taken off from the stator windings and alternates from one polarity to the other, as the rotor turns inside, producing AC and not having to go through a switching ystem.

Working principle of 3 phase alternator?
A three-phase alternator has three sets of windings that produce three currents. The three currents make up the three phases. Together these produce the total AC output of the stator. An alternator is made up of a stator and a magnet rotor which is also known as the flywheel.
What is the connection between the Aztecs and chocolate?
They claim to be the first to make it.
In an electromagnet what are the springy pieces of metal or carbon that make contact with the commutator's contacts?
Brushes
What are the springy pieces of metal or carbon that make contact with the commutator's contacts?
It's a small block of graphite. The graphite acts as both the electrical contact to the commutator and as a lubricant to reduce drag and wear.

What is the connection between Islam and calligraphy?
The connection between Islamic belief and callgraphy is that they both make what they do around god. Like for their decorated writing they write about god.
