In an induction motor, the rotor is magnetized through a process known as induction.
{"Image DocumentName": "In an induction motor, the rotor is magnetized through a process known as induction.", "Image ImageDescription": "The rotor is an electromagnet that is energized by inducing a current in the rotor winding. Induction occurs when a conducting material, such as copper wire, is passed through a magnetic field. Passing a conductor through a magnetic field impresses a voltage on the conductor, which causes a current to flow. In the case of an induction motor, the conductor is the rotor winding and the magnetic field is produced by the stator windings. Alternating current makes it easy to design induction motors. Alternating current (AC) reverses direction rapidly. The current increases, reaches a maximum value, decreases, passes through zero current, reaches a maximum negative value, and then repeats the cycle..", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
