The flux is distributed sinusoidally and the mmf varies sinusoidally in a DC Machine.

In a DC machine, the magnetic flux is generally designed to be constant rather than distributed sinusoidally. Similarly, the magnetomotive force (mmf) in a straightforward DC machine setup doesn’t vary sinusoidally as it would in alternating current (AC) machines where such characteristics are more common due to the nature of AC supply and operation.

In DC machines, the field windings are supplied with direct current to create a steady magnetic field, and the armature winding, through which the operating current flows, is also supplied with a direct current, either from an external DC source in the case of a DC motor or from the machine itself in the case of a DC generator. The commutator and brushes in a DC machine serve to rectify the electrical output in generators or provide a steady current flow direction in motors, ensuring continuous rotation.

However, if we interpret your question in the context of understanding how flux and mmf relate in a generic electrical machine context (including the possibility of analyzing a DC machine in an educational or theoretical scenario where sinusoidal distributions are considered for analysis or comparison purposes):

1. Sinusoidally Distributed Flux: If we assume the magnetic flux in a machine varies sinusoidally, this would mean that the strength of the magnetic field changes in a sinusoidal pattern along the length of the air gap or the machine’s magnetic circuit. This is more typical for the analysis of AC machines, like synchronous or induction motors, where the rotating magnetic field inherently varies sinus
