Why is rotor field winding excited by DC but not AC?
I'm curious about something. Why is rotor field winding excited by DC but not AC?
The rotor field winding is excited by DC because DC current flows constantly in one direction, creating a steady magnetic field. In contrast, AC current constantly switches direction, which would create a constantly changing magnetic field and make it difficult to generate the necessary torque to make the motor rotate.
