What is the essential difference between commutation in a dc generator and

commutation in a dc motor?
The process of commutation in DC. motor is same as DC. generator but the only
difference is the power is transferred from terminal to the armature by means of
brushes and commutator.
Describe the commutation in a dc motor?

Commutation process in DC motor can be explained

by assuming

commutator bar width is equal to brush width and insulation between the
commutator bar is of negligible thickness. The reversal of current in the
armature winding by means of commutator bar and brushes is known as
commutation process.
