induction motor

An induction motor is a type of electric motor that converts electrical energy into mechanical movement. It works by using a rotating magnetic field created by alternating current flowing through stator coils. This magnetic field induces a current in the rotor (the moving part), which then generates its own magnetic field that interacts with the stator's field, causing the rotor to spin. Induction motors are widely used in household appliances, industrial machines, and fans because they are reliable, easy to maintain, and efficient. They operate without needing brushes or commutators, making them durable and cost-effective.
