What do i need to explain to show how an induction motor works?

AI Thread Summary
To explain how an induction motor works, focus on the principles of electromagnetic induction, the role of alternating current (AC), and the interaction between the stator and rotor. Discuss the generation of a rotating magnetic field by the stator and how it induces current in the rotor, leading to motion. Include the significance of slip, which is the difference between the synchronous speed of the magnetic field and the rotor speed. Additionally, consider the efficiency and applications of induction motors in various industries. Providing clear diagrams and examples can enhance understanding of these concepts.

hi all (hopefully friendly) people...

In my year 12 physics class, i have been given a report on AC induction motors to complete.

Basically the requirement is the explain the physics behind it, how it works, why, etc

Can someone give me a list of things that i should cover as i am finding it very hard to try and find what it is i should explain so that i cover it fully...(if that makes any sense)

either that or some links that will get me started or something...

thnx for help

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
