A motor rotor rotates due to an interaction between magnetic fields of the rotor and stator, where either may use permanent magnets, electromagnets, or a combination of both to effect the interaction.
This interaction is based on the principle of opposite attraction and like repulsion related to magnets.
Either the rotor or stator creates an electromagnetic field, and the opposite component (rotor or stator) tries to attract and repel the appropriate magnetic poles to 'lock' position with the electromagnetic field.
The magnetic field is 'rotated' electrically by applying voltage to different windings within the motor in sequence, and since the moving component always tries to lock position with the magnetic field, the rotor will constantly rotate while trying to align its magnetism.

Why dc motor is not named as conduction motor?
In dc motors, the electric power is conducted directly to the armature (i.e., rotating part) through brushes & commutator. Hence, in this sense a dc motor can be called as a Conduction motor. However, in ac motors, the rotor does not receive any electric power by conduction but by induction in exactly the same way as the secondary of a two winding transformer receives its power from the primary. That is why such motors are called as Induction motors. An induction motor can be treated as a rotating transformer i.e., one in which primary winding is stationary but secondary is free to rotate.
What is a static transformer?
It's a transformer that operates with AC current in and out. It's an ordinary transformer, with the term "static" used to differentiate it from rotating transformers, such as motor-generator sets.
What are the different types of induction motors?
DOL(Direct Online starting) Star Delta starting Auto transformer starting Above methods are for squirrel cage induction motor Rotor resistance starting is used for wound rotor or slip ring induction motor
Why is a 3 phase induction motor is used in electric trains?
AC induction motors are not always used in trains as traction engines, however they are a popular choice. AC induction motors are very simple and reliable and aside from bearing wear they have no parts that wear out. This is because the power used by the rotating parts is supplied by the magnetism like in a transformer and so there are no slipping brushes. Most train systems actually use a DC supply, then a device called an inverter is used to convert the DC to variable frequency to drive the AC motor and control its speed. When this is done the AC induction motor is a very reliable and flexible engine and even allows energy recovery when the train is breaking.
Why the no-load current of an induction motor is high compared to a transformer?
Because of the presence of the air-gap between stator and rotor in motor the magnetization current is much higher than that of a transformer in addition to the friction and windage losses due to the rotation of the rotor.
What is an inducting motor?
induction motor has two control system one is stator control another rotor control And it comes under the category of asynchronous motors. The term induction is because the rotor of an a.c motor does not receive the electric power through conduction but by induction same as the secondary of the transformer receives the power from primary. And so an induction motor can also be called as a rotating transformer i.e. one in which primary is stationary and secondary is free to rotate.
Why is induction motor called as rotating transformer?
it may be because rotating transformer also have one winding turns while the other remains stationary.because the one that was stationary is the one that accepts signals and the one that was turning is the one who converts he signal into current and distribute it to the motors engine
Difference between transformer and induction motor?
1. Induction Motor has an air-gap but transformer has no air gap rather it is mutually link. 2. Induction Motor has high no-load current than transformer. 3. Induction Motor is a dynamic device. 4. Induction Motor has high power factor.
Why dc motor is not named as conduction motor?
In dc motors, the electric power is conducted directly to the armature (i.e., rotating part) through brushes & commutator. Hence, in this sense a dc motor can be called as a Conduction motor. However, in ac motors, the rotor does not receive any electric power by conduction but by induction in exactly the same way as the secondary of a two winding transformer receives its power from the primary. That is why such motors are called as Induction motors. An induction motor can be treated as a rotating transformer i.e., one in which primary winding is stationary but secondary is free to rotate.
How are the two circuits of an induction motor similar to the circuit of a transformer?
They are magnetically coupled--a current in one circuit induces a current in the other one in both a transformer and an induction motor.
Why short circuiting rings are used in squirrel cage motor?
Squirrel Cage motor is a kind of Induction Motor. The reason an induction motor sometimes refered to a rotating transformer is because the stator (Primary windings in a transformer), which is powered to set up a magnetic field induces a current in the armature coils (secondar coils in a transformer). However, instead of giving an electrical power output, the coil is short circuited to produce mechanical output (torque in this case)
What is the difference between stator and rotar?
An electric motor converts electrical power to mechanical power in its rotor (rotating part). There are several ways to supply power to the rotor. In a DC motor this power is supplied to the armature directly from a DC source, while in an induction motor this power is induced in the rotating device. An induction motor is sometimes called arotating transformer because the stator (stationary part) is essentially the primary side of the transformer and the rotor (rotating part) is the secondary side. The primary side's currents evokes a magnetic field which interacts with the secondary side's emf to produce a resultant torque, henceforth serving the purpose of producing mechanical energy. Induction motors are widely used, especially polyphase induction motors, which are frequently used in industrial drives.
Why induction motor is also called short circuit transformer?
Like transformer induction motor has stator winding(Primary winding) and rotor winding(Secondary winding) separated by an airgap.Rotor winding(generally Al bars) are short circuited at the end to produce torque for the rotation.Hence the name short circuited transformer.
Induction Motor working principle?
They work on transformer action. There is no electrical connection between the field windings and the rotor, which behaves as a 'rotating secondary' winding.
Can you get shocked by a rotating electric induction motor?
If you stick your fingers into the wrong places you can.
What is meant by Slip of an induction motor?
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
What is the relationship between an induction motor and transformer?
In an induction motor, power is supplied to the rotor using a changing magnetic flux i.e. without any true conductive contact. Similarly, in a transformer, the power is transferred from the primary coil to the secondry one using a varying magnetic flux and the plates have no physical linkage. Hence, the similarity between an induction motor and a transformer is very basic i.e. they both use the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction to transfer power from one part to another.
