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.

What does an electromagnet do in a generator?

in a generator electromagnets are used for producing flux for rotor to cut so it can produce current in small generator they will have residual magnetism and in big generator current is supplied to electromagnet from another small dc generator


What is armature reaction in dc machines?

The armature reaction is the interaction between armature flux and field flux when current is introduced to a dc motor. It results in a cross-magnetizing effect and a demagnetizing effect.


What is the electric current supplied to most homes celled?

alternating current


AC or DC supply is given to a bulb which gives more illumination?

In AC supply, the RMS current is the effective current for power used in a resistive circuit. This is defined as the square root of the mean value of the square of the current, taken over a whole cycle. The RMS current dissipates power at the same rate as a DC current of the same value. A light bulb of course gives out light dependent on the current through the filament. So if the RMS current and the DC current are the same value, the light produced will be equal. With AC supply, the RMS value of current and volts is 1/(square root of 2) x the peak value, so peak value = 1.414 x RMS value. If you supplied DC at volts and current equal to the peak AC value, the power given to the light bulb would clearly be greater. Therefore to answer your question you have to specify what relative values your AC and DC supplies have.


What is the difference between a conduction and a induction?

Although the term 'conduction motor' isn't widely used, it refers to a motor whose rotor winding, as well as its stator windings, is supplied with an electric current. In the case of an 'induction motor', however, the current flowing through the rotor is produced by voltages 'induced' into the rotor windings by a rotating magnetic field created by the stator windings.

Does the alternating current supplied to the armature winding of a DC motor gets converted to dc by a commutator before it flows through the armature coil of the DC motor?

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.

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".


What is DC motor?

A DC motor is an electric motor that runs on direct current (DC) electricity. A DC motor is designed to run on DC electric power. Two examples of pure DC designs are Michael Faraday's homopolar motor (which is uncommon), and the ball bearing motor, which is (so far) a novelty. By far the most common DC motor types are the brushed and brushless types, which use internal and external commutation respectively to reverse the current in the windings in synchronism with rotation.
