If there were no brushes and the external wires were connected to the slip ring then it would get tangled.
AC alternates unlike DC , therefore it doesn't turn backwards and forwards as every half turn the current will change polarity and the motor will continue spinning in one direction...
The brushes provide an external contact so the current can flow into the motor, they are stationary and just touch the slip ring so it can continuously rotate. If u remove the brushes no more current would flow into the motor and it would stop rotating.
1) bond B is the coordinate covalent bond.
2) You can use titration with EDTA or measure it gravimetrically by precipitating the ions in the water with a carbonate.
Dont stress too much man. Sefton's UAI estimate thing is not very good. It only takes into account your half yearly marks ,not your true ranking.
PS My estimate was 97 which i thought it was high =.= (Even though i didnt do too well in Ext 2 maths and Chem)
