What is the primary difference between a DC motor and an AC induction motor in terms of power source?

A DC motor is typically driven by a direct current (DC) supply, often controlled via commutators or electronic controllers. In contrast, an AC induction motor operates using alternating current (AC) supplied to the stator windings.

Induction motors are widely used in industry because they are robust and efficient for handling large AC power loads.
