Just swapping the hot and neutral connections on a plain and simple single phase ac motor (one which was not designed to be reversible) is usually a waste of time as the voltage is alternating and the motor sees this as the same either way and it will still run in the same direction.
For a DC motor which uses a permanent magnet to provide its magnetic field, simply switch the two power leads to make them run in the reverse direction.
For a DC motor which has a wound field winding instead of a permanent magnet you have to reverse the connections either to the field winding or to the armature. (If you reverse the connections to both the field winding and the armature the direction won't change!)
For a three phase motor simply switch any two of the three power leads to make it reverse.
Another opinion
To change the direction in a single phase ac electric motor you must find a way to reverse the connections to the field magnet (outer windings) or to the armature or rotor (which is the center part that spins). Some motors are reversible and the run direction can be changed simply by swapping the 2 plugs sticking out of them that are connected to the field windings.
All single phase ac motors can be reversed by physically reversing the field magnet or rotor ( front of motor is now the back) although this can be more difficult in motors with brushes because of the brush holder which is mounted at the front and usually has to stay in the front.

Changing motor rotation
A split phase induction motor has two sets of coils and a centrifugal start switch. The start winding is in series with the start switch. The start winding provides a rotating magnetic field in one direction enabling the motor to start. The motor can be reversed by reversing the connections of either the start winding or the run winding but not both.

Can you reverse the rotation of an electric motor by reversing the white and black leads?
The start winding has to be reversed in a single phase induction motor to reverse the rotation.
What is the purpose of a single fixed pulley?
A single pulley does not give any mechanical advantage, but it helps reverse a direction force according to our need.
Electric lines of force never cross?
The electric lines of force never cross each other because electric field has only one direction at a given point. The direction of electric field depends upon the tangent drawn at a single point.
What are the causes of reverse power of generator?
The primary causes of reverse power on a generator are reverse rotation and incorrect wiring order. A generator is designed to operate in a single direction to produce electrical power.
What is The net movement of electric charges is a single direction is called?
That is called an electrical current, or just a current.
Can a single phase 220 volts motor run backwards after originally started in the right direction?
No! The motor will not stop and reverse on it's own. But if your question is "can you reverse a single phase motor, the answer is usually, if the right number of wires are brought out from the winding.
Why magnetic line of force never cross each other?
The electric line of forces determine the direction of electric field from positive charge to negative charge . As at a give point there is one particular direction of force experienced by test positive charge so no line in an electric field can cross at a point because it is impossible to have two different direction of electric force at a single point in an electric field.
How do single phase motors work?
Single phase motors have two windngs. Starting winding and running winding. Starting winding provides a kickstart, torque in a direction and then running winding keeps it rotating.
If we change the polarity of capacitor in ceiling fan why it starts rotating reverse direction?
by changing the polarity of capacitor of single phase ceiling fan can we change the direction of rotation from anticlockwise to clockwise
A switch that reverses the direction of the current in a motor is?
A switch that reverses the direction of the current in a motor is called a forward reverse drum switch. It is a single phase motor that turns from clockwise to counter clockwise.
How could you reverse the rotation of the motor?
On a single phase electric motor, the rotation can be accomplished by reversing the polarity. To do this, simply swap the ground and lead wires.
How do you changed the rotation on single phase motor?
To reverse a single phase motor just reverse the starting winding in the circuit.
What is One Direction's fourth single?

How do you do a reverse single crochet?
Reverse single crochet means to turn the item the opposite way you were crocheting and single crochet as normal-just in the opposite direction. For instance if you crochet from right to left as normal, you would chain one, turn the item around so you are facing the opposite side (the 'wrong side') and single crochet around. The stitches will then face the opposite way from the rest giving it a decorative edge.
How is direction of rotation for single phase induction motor determined?
A single phase induction motor is not self starting; thus, it is necessary to provide a starting circuit and associated start windings to give the initial rotation in a single phase induction motor. The normal running windings within such a motor can cause the rotor to turn in either direction, so the starting circuit determines the operating direction.
What Conducts electric current better than an insulator but not as well as a conductor?
Probably Water, it conducts but doesnt send the current around a single direction, instead scatters it out.
