Commutator is a ring which reverse the direction of current in AC circuit so that the coil connected to it will continuous to move in the same direction.
Explanation:
In motors there exist a coil which is rotated due to torque of magnetic field when current flow through it. Since AC current is used to run the motor so we know that AC current changes its direction after half cycle.
So here commutator plays an important role to reverse the direction of current after every half cycle so that the current goes in same direction always into the coil.
This will produce a constant direction torque on the coil so that it will rotate in same sense always.
So commutator role is to provide same direction current to the coil by reversing its direction after every half cycle
When you say something has a velocity, you are measuring its change of position relative to some reference point which may itself be in motion. All motion is relative to a chosen frame of reference.
Mathematically speaking, forces are represented by vectors, which have magnitude and direction. Graphically speaking, vectors are represented by arrows.
