Obviously, if there wasn't a gap, the rotor would not be able to rotate! However, the gap should be as small as possible in order to minimise the reluctance of the magnetic circuit (reluctance is equivalent to resistance), because the reluctance of air is very much larger than for silicon steel.
Simply put just like a magnetic field, the further away a magnetic field is the less force or power it exerts, therefor the air gap is made as small as possible to attain as much of the created energy as possible.
Subtract the stator ID by the rotor diameter then divide by 2. practically it can be measured using a feeler gauge. insert it in between the stator and rotor.
To minimise the reluctance of the magnetic circuit. 'Reluctance' opposes the formation of magnetic flux and is to a magnetic circuit, what 'resistance' is to an electric circuit.
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.
generators have two types of winding , * at armature also called armature winding( winding around shaft , we can say), which is the moving part. note that armature also consists of magnets along with windings. hence produces field arount it. * and at stator also called field winding, because when armature rotates its flux(field) is cutted by the stator windings and produces mutually induced e.m.f in it( in stator windings off course) causing current to flow. this current also produces some electric field around it which is in return cutted by the armature windings hince a little amount of e.m.f ( also called back e.m.f) produced in armature due to stator winding current. know this current in armature (due to back e.m.f produced by stator winding) produces additional field , hence causing more current in stator winding. this is the reason that why stator windings are called field winding( as they cause electric field of armature stronger and cause more current in output). note that out put is taken from the stator windings in generators.
An electric motor has a stator and a rotor. The stator does not move. The rotor rotates inside the stator.
Electric motor, the alternating-current alternator, and the rotary converter. A basic dynamo consists of a stator wound with copper coils and a magnetic armature. As the magnetic armature spins it induces a current in the copper coils.

Armature current is the current flowing in a motor's armature. The "armature" is another name for the coil (or coils) of wire which are on the motor's "rotor", which is the part that rotates inside its stator. (The "stator" is the fixed, non-rotating part of the motor.)
