Question:

What is an AC motor exactly? i need help!?

I have to do research for an engineering project and i can't even figure out what it ishelp!

Answer:

A motor that runs on alternating current as opposed to direct current. There are several types, also things like drills tend to have universal motors that will run on either.
AC stands for alternating current. For a quick and dirty picture explanation go to: Wikipedia Encyclopedia and find both AC and DC electric motors.
