DC Motor :- SHUNT MOTOR, Series Motor, Compund Motor, ( mainly used in traction system only. as there performanace is very poor & DC supply is not available easily so there uses is less then AC motors,)

AC Motor:- Induction Motor ( Slip ring Type, squrrile cage Induction motor)

Syncronous Motor.

What type of current is used in an electirc motor?

Well that depends on the type of motor. DC motors use direct current DC and induction motors use alternation current AC.


What is the different between ac dc motors?

DC Motor works on DC source and AC motor works on AC source


who is more efficient dc motor or ac motor and why?

DC motors are generally more efficient than AC motors. DC motors have a lower amount of inertial associated with them, making them more efficient to run.


Is fan operating in ac voltage?

A fans blades are driven by motors. Since there are both AC and DC motors, fans can be AC or DC. The fans in your computer are DC fans. Your ceiling fans are AC fans. (Thanks for fixing my answer)


Why dc series motors cannot be used in home?

DC series motors run on DC power. Homes have AC power, not DC power. You could use DC motors in homes if you have a power supply or use a battery, but it is usually more cost effective to use an AC motor.

Why does modern hybrids use ac synchronous motor instead of dc series motors?

Toyota uses AC motors, Honda uses DC motors. It varies with design goals.


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.


Can ac motors run on low dc current?

No.

How do you differentiat dc motior and ac motor physicaly?

if you power an ac motor with dc or a dc motor with ac you will likely start smelling smoke and the motor will be damaged. If the motor is marked "3-phase", "shaded pole", or "induction" it is an ac motor! BTW, there are ac/dc motors that will run on both, they are wound very much like dc motors but a bit differently.
