Principle of Induction motor and what is mutual inductance

Question

Accepted Answer

Induction motor operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Mutual inductance is the measure of the coupling between two coils.

Induction motor works on the principle of electromagnetic induction where a rotating magnetic field is produced to induce current in the rotor, causing it to rotate.
Mutual inductance is the measure of the coupling between two coils, indicating how much of the magnetic field produced by one coil links with the other coil.
Higher mutual inductance results in better energy transfer between the coils, while lower mutual inductance leads to less efficient energy transfer.
Mutual inductance is influenced by the distance between the coils, the number of turns in each coil, and the permeability of the material between the coils.
