The rotor in a DC motor rotates because the magnetic field in either the rotor or the stator is constantly changing. If it is a brush type DC motor, then the rotor field changes as the rotor moves to a new position on the commutator. If it is a brush-less type DC motor, then there is some circuitry associated with the stator that changes the stator field.

If you check from the opposite side, you'll probably find it's running clockwise!
A DC generator, or "dynamo", is very similar to a DC electric motor but cannot be described as "exactly the same as a motor" because a DC generator's designed purpose is not to "use" electricity (which a DC motor does) but to "make", or "produce", electricity.
from Faraday's laws its clear that when ever there is change in flux, an emf is produced. in a dc motor there are permanent magnets that produce a magnetic flux. If the shaft of the motor is rotated, which in tern rotates the coil that is placed in the magnetic field. Thus, changing the flux that cuts the coil. since there is change in flux an emf is induced.thus, a dc motor can be used as a generator.
DC Motor works on DC source and AC motor works on AC source
It depends on the motor. The fan is driven by an electric motor, and it can use a dc motor (as in a car) or an ac motor (as in a house). They are not interchangeable.
dc motors generate more noise.
