Working of induction motor?

Question

Accepted Answer

Induction motor works on the principle of electromagnetic induction to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.

The stator of the motor has a set of windings that are supplied with AC current, creating a rotating magnetic field.
This rotating magnetic field induces a current in the rotor windings, which in turn creates a magnetic field that interacts with the stator field.
The interaction between the two fields causes the rotor to rotate, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.
The speed of the motor is determined by the frequency of the AC supply and the number of poles in the stator winding.
Induction motors are widely used in various applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyor systems.
