With a brush and a DC motor, + | - with coil wrapped around and on the side are perm magnets when the current is applied the magnets repel and spin, I understand, but how's an AC motor do it, applying an AC source to a DC motor just makes it shake violently (I know i tried )
So would it just be a case of how it's wound to accommodate DC or AC? it's hard to find anything exact on google most posts just say "an AC motor is powered by AC current, DUH" and as for wiki, it's not really explaining the difference just how it works for an AC motor.
