Direct-current flow is obstructed only by resistance, whereas alternating current is obstructed by both resistance and inductive reactance. Therefore, when a dc motor is connected across an ac source, the current on ac will be much less than that of dc . The motor would run, however, but it would not carry the same load as it would on dc . There would be more sparking at the brushes. The armature is made up of laminations, but the field is not. The eddy currents in the field would therefore cause the motor to heat up and eventually burn out on ac dc
