Construction and working of single phase induction motor in detail

A single-phase induction motor is a type of electric motor that operates on alternating current (AC) power. It consists of a stator (stationary part) and a rotor (rotating part), with the stator winding connected to the power source and the rotor placed inside the stator. When the AC power is supplied to the stator winding, it produces a rotating magnetic field, which induces a current in the rotor. This current in the rotor creates a magnetic field, causing the rotor to rotate and produce mechanical energy. An example of a single-phase induction motor is the motor used in household appliances such as fans and washing machines. A verifiable fact is that single-phase induction motors are widely used in various applications due to their simple construction and reliable performance. In analogy terms, you can think of a single-phase induction motor as a hamster wheel. The stator is like the wheel itself, which stays in place, while the rotor is like the hamster running inside the wheel, causing it to rotate and generate movement.
