i have never heard of a commentator in a motor, think you may be mistaking that word. inside an electric motor you have a stator and windings, as polarity changes it spins the stator and the brushes transfer the charge to the device being used.. I think they meant commutator. If you break an electric motor down to 2 parts, you have a commutator and an armature. the armature being the shaft that basically floats on bearings, and the commutator being the hull where the stator is. (and there is such thing as a brushless electric motor.) the stator does not spin. that is the term used for the magnets that pull the electric field supplied by the brushes. To make even more simple, imagine a shaft floating on bearings with 2 magnets on it, one positive and one negative ( the armature) and this shaft is inside of a ring of electricity the is flowing in one direction, its going to pull the negative and push the positive (the commutator) and cause the armature to spin.
The commutator is a rotating switch, which reverse the polarity of the generated voltage every half-cycle. So it acts to rectify the output voltage.
Excitation is normally used to describe the current supplied to the field winding of a motor. A motor has a rotating armature with a coil that rotates in the magnetic field produced by a fixed field coil. The current in the field coil can be taken from a series or parallel connection to the armature coil, or (usually for larger motors) it can be supplied independently via some sort of controller. Excitation can be used to control the speed of DC motors or the power factor of synchronous motors.
Increasing the armature voltage would increase the speed. In a separately excited dc motor the speed adjusts so that the back emf generated by the armature is a little less than the supply voltage. The difference, divided by the resistance, gives the current drawn, which is also proportional to the shaft torque supplied to the load.

commutator, armature
Current is supplied to the electromagnet and magnitised and attract the soft iron armature. Then it closes the contact allowing the current to flow.

It means that the armature must be supplied with a constant-current source.

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 doesn't! It produces voltage. It does this by the relative movement between an armature (winding into which a voltage is induced) and a magnetic field (set up by field windings). Either the armature rotates inside a fixed field (small generators) or the field rotates within a fixed armature (larger generators).Current is only supplied when a load is connected to the generator.
Electric Motors • The electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy • The shaft of a motor is driven by the magnetic forces developed between the armature and field • Current has to be supplied to the armature winding. • Motors obey Fleming`s Left Hand Rule • Electric Motors Fleming`s Left Hand Rule The Left Hand Rule shows what happens when charged particles enter a magnetic field. Generators • A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. • A shaft attached to the rotor is driven by a mechanical force • Electric current is produced in the armature windings. • Generators obey Fleming's Right Hand Rule • Generators The Right Hand Rule shows how a current-carrying wire generates a magnetic field.
Without a mechanical load the motor accelerates until the back-emf generated by the armature nearly equals the supply voltage. On load, the speed drops and the current rises until the power taken from the supply balances the mechanical power supplied to the load. If the armature has low resistance, the speed drop under load is not very much, so speed regulation is better if the armature resistance is lower.
if there are magnets on the stator and the commutator is phased properly this is known as a permanent magnet dc motor the starting torque is dependent on armature current and the strength of the magnet the speed is directly proportional to the armature voltage a shunt motor needs the field energized for starting. more field more starting torque
