In an induction motor the rotor currents are induced by the magnetic field of the stator, and if the motor were to run at synchronous speed the induced currents and also the torque would fall to zero.
The rotor currents alternate at a low frequency determined by the 'slip', which is the percentage amount that the rotor speed is below the synchronous speed. The output torque is proportional to the slip at near-synchronous speeds.
Nikola Tesla invented the induction motor in New York City in the late 1880s. Tesla's work on the induction motor was a breakthrough in the field of electrical engineering and revolutionized the way electricity was generated and utilized.
The direction of a revolving magnetic field can be reversed by changing the direction of the current flowing through the stator windings in an electric motor or generator. By reversing the phase sequence of the currents in the stator windings, the direction of the revolving magnetic field can be changed. This can be achieved using control circuits or devices that can switch the direction of the current flow.
A high frequency induction motor uses high frequency electrical currents to create a rotating magnetic field in the stator. This rotating field induces currents in the rotor, which causes it to rotate and drive the motor. The higher frequency allows for more precise speed control and efficiency in certain applications.
A generator uses electromagnetic induction by moving a coil of wire through a magnetic field. As the coil moves, it cuts through the magnetic field lines, inducing a current in the coil according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. This current is then transferred out as electrical energy.
Although the term 'conduction motor' isn't widely used, it refers to a motor whose rotor winding, as well as its stator windings, is supplied with an electric current. In the case of an 'induction motor', however, the current flowing through the rotor is produced by voltages 'induced' into the rotor windings by a rotating magnetic field created by the stator windings.
The revolving field theory of single-phase induction motors suggests that a rotating magnetic field created by current flowing through two windings (main and auxiliary or starting winding) produces a starting torque in the rotor. This theory explains how single-phase motors can operate without the need for a separate rotating magnetic field, as in three-phase motors, by using a split-phase or capacitor start design to generate a rotating magnetic field.
Cross field revolving theory is the theory which discuss the cause of single phase induction motor not to be self starting. According to it, two different forces of same magnetude acts on the rotor in just opposite direction.Which makes the rotor standstill.
To start an induction motor we have to excite field. The excitation is done by connecting the DC supply to the field winding's.
The induction motor is the special kind of motor which runs below and above the synchronous speed. which the synchronous motor runs nearly equal the synchronous speed. The operation of synchronous motor runs with dc field excited hence separate dc field current is given to the field circuit. where as the induction motor the field and main field is drawn from the same supply hence no excitation is required. But due to this separate starting mechanism has to be required in case of the single phase induction motor.
The shaft of an AC induction motor rotates because of the torque created by the interaction between the magnetic field of the stator and the magnetic field of the rotor.

A three-phase motor has a steady rotating magnetic field generated by the stator coil, and the rotor just follows the field.
Synchronous motors run at synchronous speed. An induction motor that has the same number of poles must run at a sub-synchronous speed to create a second magnetic field (a field that is at a different phase angle) to generate torque.
Yes the Induction motor works on Electromagnetic induction principle.
Slip is referred to as the difference between the speed of the rotor and the speed of the rotating magnetic field in the stator of the induction motor. Speed of the rotor=n(1-s) Speed of the rotating magnetic field= f/p
In induction motors no seprate source is required to start the motor,and motor itself induces emf as the word induction clearly reflects it starting principle while in case of synchronous motors ,motor is synchronised with an external source of emf.
