No, these can be switched depending on the requirements of the application. It is more practical to have the armature windings (since they will carry the full load current) as the stator for this will require larger wires and is also easier to cool if kept stationary. The field windings do not carry the full load current of the load so this requires smaller wires and smaller slip rings since this is the piece that will rotate.
In a generator, usually the stator has the armature winding and the rotor holds the field winding. Passing power to/from a spinning mass (the rotor) requires some coupling mechanism, and generally it is cheaper and easier to make this mechanism for the lower power winding (the field winding).
The same reasoning applies to motors. You can build a motor or generator so the stationary winding is the field winding, but it will cost more and will provide no added benefit.
Generally rotor does not carry any winding (in case of induction motor for example) even if they carry in some motor, it is only excitation hence lower current, lower voltage. Rotor can freely rotate with out any complicated brushes are commutators. Main winding actually carries load current hence better to be stationary with fixed wiring connections.
armature is usually the part that turns so its called the rotor
stepper motors the field is actually a permanent magnet,
the stator is commutated to make the rotor turn
there is no armature winding
some halfwit dubbed this a brushless dc motor,
very bad name
there is no dc unless the motor is stationary
An 'armature winding' is the rotor winding, and the 'field winding' is the stator winding.
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.
IN DC MOTORThere are 2 types of windings:1. Field windingOn poles core which are on stator body.These are always concentrated type.2. Armature windingOn rotor on motor may be simplex or multiplex and lap or wave connected.IN AC (Synchronous ) MOTOR3-phase star or delta connected on stator (armature ) suppliedby 3 phase may be concentrated or distributed (usually preferred) .Rotor (field ) has concentrared in salient pole type nd distributed in cylindrical type supplied by DC supply.IN AC ( Induction ) MOTOR3-phase (star or delta connected) distributed winding on stator and wound rotor .In squirrel cage rotor short circuted copper bars are used.
There are losses associated with both, but I don't think that's what you're getting at. The power applied to the field winding, typically on the rotor of a generator, is used to turn the field winding into an electromagnet; This electromagnet is forced to spin, which induces a current in the armature windings. This induced current is the power output from the generator. So a little power is lost/used in the field winding to convert the kinetic energy from the turbine into electric energy.
Winding: To wind the coils into the slots on the stator or rotor and connecting them up to form a winding. Re-winding. Is to remove the old winding and doing what I explained above.
An 'armature winding' is the rotor winding, and the 'field winding' is the stator winding.
simply saying u that field winding is a winding present at the stator of the motor and is used to produce the magnetic field and the armature winding is the winding present in the rotor and is used to rotate the shaft of the motor. there are some machines with permanent magnets, those permanent magnets are used as the major source of magnetic flux in the machine instead of the field winding .

The field winding in the stator is exposed to the full current generated by the rotor's winding.
Typically the armature windings are in the stator of a generator, which does not rotate. Typically the field windings are on the rotor, which rotates.
The armature and the field windings of an inductor alternator are both accommodated in the stator. The three phase ac armature windings are distributed in small slots and the dc field windings are concentrated in two slots in the stator. Each field coil spans half the total number of stator slots. Armature coils are connected in star and field coils are connected in series. The rotor resembles a cogged wheel, with no winding. The core of the stator, which is completely embraced by the field coils, will retain a residual magnetism if excited once. When the rotor is rotated, the passage of the rotor teeth alternatively under the field offers a varying reluctance path for the flux produced by the field coils. This flux, which varies periodically, links with the armature coils and induces an emf in them. The frequency of the induced emf depends on the speed of the rotor. The magnitude depends on the speed of the rotor as well as on the level of excitation. The armature and the field windings of an inductor alternator are both accommodated in the stator.

Excitation is the phenomenon by which you control the excitation of field winding of a generator. In DC generator field winding is placed on stator and this field winding can be self excited or seperately excited depending upon the type on generator used. AC generators can also be self excited or seperately excited type but field winding is placed on rotor nad armature winding on stator.
AC motor has two main winding components - stator and a rotor. Stator winding is stationary where as rotor winding is on rotating part.
Armature reaction is effect of armature flux on main field flux. Basically there are two windings in a dc motor - Armature winding (on stator) and field winding (on rotor). When we excite the field winding, it produces a flux which links with the armature. This causes an emf and hence a current in the armature. This current in armature produces another flux which lags the main flux. This is referred to as armature reaction. It has two effects on the machine: 1. Demagnetising effect: It reduces the strength of the main flux. 2. Crossmagnetising effect: Its effect is that it bends/distortes the the main flux line along the conductor
A Rotor is a mechanism in the alternator that is driven by the pulley belt from the engine.which creates a magnetic field which causes voltage.Answer.The rotor does not 'create' a magnetic field. The emf induced in the stator winding is due to the residual magnetic flux of the rotor which cuts the stator windings as the rotor rotates.
The rotor must have a magnetic field in order to generator voltage in stator winding. The exciter circuit generates this DC filed in the rotor.
