  2. Rotating magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_magnetic_field

    The rotating magnetic field is the key principle in the operation of induction machines.The induction motor consists of a stator and rotor.In the stator a group of fixed windings are so arranged that a two phase current, for example, produces a magnetic field which rotates at an angular velocity determined by the frequency of the alternating current.

  3. Induction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

    A three-phase power supply provides a rotating magnetic field in an induction motor. Inherent slip – unequal rotation frequency of stator field and the rotor. In both induction and synchronous motors, the AC power supplied to the motor's stator creates a magnetic field that rotates in synchronism with the AC oscillations. Whereas a ...

  4. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (emf) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field. Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831, and James Clerk Maxwell mathematically described it as Faraday's law of induction .

  5. Linear induction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_induction_motor

    The two opposing fields will repel each other, creating motion as the magnetic field sweeps through the metal. n s = 2 f s / p {\displaystyle n_{s}=2f_{s}/p} [ 8 ] where f s is supply frequency in Hz, p is the number of poles, and n s is the synchronous speed of the magnetic field in revolutions per second.

  6. Squirrel-cage rotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirrel-cage_rotor

    The squirrel cage winding of a synchronous machine will generally be smaller than for an induction machine of similar rating. When the rotor is turning at the same speed as the stator's revolving magnetic field, no current is induced into the squirrel-cage windings and the windings will have no further effect on the operation of the synchronous ...

  7. Ferraris' motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferraris'_motor

    After expounding the geometric theory of the rotatory magnetic field, he suggested that a simple way of procuring the desired phase-currents would be to branch the circuit of an alternate current into two parts, into one of which should be inserted a resistance without self-induction, into the other a coil of much self-induction but of small ...

  8. Eddy current brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake

    Disk electromagnetic brakes are used on vehicles such as trains, and power tools such as circular saws, to stop the blade quickly when the power is turned off.A disk eddy current brake consists of a conductive non-ferromagnetic metal disc attached to the axle of the vehicle's wheel, with an electromagnet located with its poles on each side of the disk, so the magnetic field passes through the ...

  9. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    The magnetic field of larger magnets can be obtained by modeling them as a collection of a large number of small magnets called dipoles each having their own m. The magnetic field produced by the magnet then is the net magnetic field of these dipoles; any net force on the magnet is a result of adding up the forces on the individual dipoles.
