What type of motor uses a brush commutator to operate?

DC motors generally use commutators. Also some single phase AC motors use commutators. They are the type which which have their field windings connected in series with their armatures and they can typically be found in home vacuum cleaners, DIY-type ac electric drills, etc.


How DC generator produces DC current from ac current?

DC GERATORS PRODUCE DC current with the help of spilt ring commutators.


What is the function of the brush holder in the alternator?

The brush holder in an alternator keeps the brushes held to slip rings with spring pressure (or commutators in generators or some motors) which provide electrical contact to electromagnets in the spinning rotor. By varying the electrical current through the brushes to the rotor magnets, you can adjust the power output of the alternator as needed.


In an electromagnet what are the springy pieces of metal or carbon that make contact with the commutators contacts?

These springy pieces are called brushes. They conduct current between stationary wires and moving parts in the electromagnet, ensuring continuous contact with the commutator's contacts as it rotates.


What is the fundamental group of a genus g surface?

The fundamental group of a closed orientable surface of genus g is the quotient of the free group on the 2g generators a1,...,ag,b1,...,bg by the normal subgroup generated by the following product of g commutators: a1b1a1-1b1-1...agbgag-1bg-1.
