Only a DC motor uses direct current, and the reason is that it is the only supply available.
There are also plenty of AC motors used when there is an AC supply.
DC tends to be used for low-power devices like fans in electronic equipment.

What is meant by bressless DC motor?
I've not heard the term "bressless" - I think you mean "Brushless" - which is a DC Motor that does not use the usual commutator/brush arrangement. For a great answer to this question, see the Wikipedia article in the related links section.
What is the different between ac dc motors?
DC Motor works on DC source and AC motor works on AC source
Fan works on ac or DC?
It depends on the motor. The fan is driven by an electric motor, and it can use a dc motor (as in a car) or an ac motor (as in a house). They are not interchangeable.
What generates more noise ac motor or dc motor?
dc motors generate more noise.
DC motor has sparking what to do?
Found one DC motor having small sparking,but the commutator is light and dark bar pattern.commutator is round. We 500kw dC motor operted at 500rpm with 480Amp's .The DC motor full load current is 1050Amp's. Why the commutator had small spaerking.
What is meant when the nameplate reads DC motor?
It means that the voltage that supplies the motor has to be a direct current source.

What is a DC shunt motor?
A DC shunt motor is a motor using DC supply with the the inductor connected parallel to the armature.
What are uses of bidirectional dc motor?
6V dc motor
What is dc motor with synchoronous operation?
A synchronous motor is an ac motor that does not run on dc.
Can a DC dynamo act as a DC motor?
Yes it can and the otherway aroud a DC motor can be used as a dynamo
Can DC series motor work on ac and DC and why?
A dc series motor can work on dc and ac because dc motors are totally reversible.
How does a DC brushless motor work?
To state it simply, a DC brushless motor is not a DC motor. It is an AC motor with an inverter (or electronic commutator) on the front end to make the AC, so you can use a DC input.
What is the Max amp rating for 3phase dc motor?
the three phase dc motor never seen yet motor eaither 3phase m/r or dc motor.
What DC motor is used for traction?
dc series motor is used for traction...
Can you meg a DC motor?
Yes. You can "Meg" any motor, AC or DC.
