there are 2 different types f excitation 1 seperately excited 2 self excited
on the basis of field excitation, dc generators are classified into the following types:-1- separetly excited dc generators2-self excited dc generatorsthe behaviour of a dc generator on load depends upon the method of field excitation adopted
No
short leads
If the synchronous motor is running near synchronous speed, it will begin rotating at synchronous speed when DC is applied to the rotor. Source: Electrical Machines, Drives, and Power Systems Theodore Wildi Section 17.3
-- If the excitation source is AC, then the steady state of the circuit depends on the voltage, frequency, and waveform (harmonic content) of the source. -- If the excitation source is DC, then the steady state current in a series circuit is zero. DC doesn't pass through a capacitor.
The difference between a separately excited DC generator and a Shunt DC generator is that for a separately excited Dc generator , the excitation field winding is supplied by an external source different from that supplying the armature while for shunt generator, the excitation field windind is connected in series with the armature and supplied by a single source.

It is called static excitation when you make use of solid state components like diode and thyristors to convert to pure dc and to use this dc for field excitation of synchronous generators. The field winding of synchronous generators can be excited by dc source only. It is called brushless excitation because use of carbon brushes are not made here.It is called dynamic excitation is when you make use of rotating brushes. Excitation is necessary to produce reactive power and also to regulate the voltage of synchronous generators.
for torque improvement in armature and create n-pole or s-pole in armature a dc source is used in alternator armature.

excitation voltage is sinusoidal because it is taken from the terminal of alternator but excitation current is non-sinusoidal because it always dc.
