SUMMARY
Poles in induction motors are generated through the interaction of circulating current and magnetic fields. When current flows through the motor windings, it creates a magnetic field that alternates between north and south poles due to the reversal of current. This phenomenon is rooted in the fundamental principles of electromagnetism, where a current-carrying conductor generates a magnetic field similar to that of a permanent magnet. Understanding this relationship is crucial for grasping the operation of induction motors.
