if you have something that rotates 360 degrees, it ends up back where it started. the geometry produces a sine wave. DC generators have a design that switches during rotation, or otherwise they generate AC then convert it.

What is AC motor and DC motor?

AC stands for alternating current, and DC is direct current. A motor is a device that uses electrical energy to spin. An AC motor uses AC voltage, and a DC motor uses DC voltage. http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Difference-Between-AC-and-DC-Electric-Motors&id=193767


Alternator generates DC or AC?

An alternator produces AC current but it is converted to DC by the rectifier inside the alternator.

Why a DC motor is called DC motor?

DC, in DC motor, is an acronym for Direct Current, which means that it works on direct electrical supply by a battery. In an AC motor, the motor runs on Alternating Current Supply from other sources other than batteries, such as electricity from your house.No, d.c. is not an acronym. It is simply an abbreviation."a word formed from the initial letters or syllables taken from a group of words"http://www.thefreedictionary.com/acronymYes, a word. "dc" is not a word.


Which type of current does a dc motor use?

dc stands for direct current. This can be obtained from a battery or a rectified ac (alternating current ) supply.


Is galvanometer generator alternating current or direct current needed to operate an electric motor?

That depends if it is an ac or dc 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.


Will an AC electric motor run on DC?

No ... AC means Alternating Current - DC means Direct Current. DC is used mostly for electronics and for voltages within our vehicles. AC is used for motors and for our household appliances and lamps.


Why current is supplied to DC motor?

What supplies a dc motor is not current, but voltage. Current is what flows in the circuit formed by the dc motor and for the charge. That current varies according to the resistance of the circuit.


Why DC motor current ripple?

The induction of a DC motor while rotation lead to a non continuid current. This AC part of the DC csupply current is called ripple current. You can measure this and see if the motor is moving and also you can count the ripple per second and have the motor speed "RMS".
