In this animated activity, learners study how stator poles create a rotating field in a three-phase AC motor as a three-phase AC voltage is applied.

Learners study the interaction between the conductors of the stator and the armature inside a DC motor, which causes the shaft to rotate. A short quiz completes the activity.

In this animated object, learners examine how the rotation of an induction AC motor's armature slips behind the synchronous rotational speed of the stator's field to create magnetic fields. These fields interact and produce torque. A quiz completes the activity.

Learners study factors that affect the synchronous speed of an AC motor: the applied AC frequency and the number of stator poles.

Learners study the factors that determine the frequency of an AC generator, such as the rotational speed of the armature or the number of stator poles.

In this animated object, learners study the rotation of the magnetic stator field of an AC motor and how it interacts with the armature to cause rotation. A short quiz completes the activity.

In this animated and interactive object, learners study the synchronous rotational speed of the magnetic field created by the stator of an AC Motor.

Learners will understand how the interaction of the armature magnetic field and the rotating stator field cause the rotor of a single-phase AC motor to turn.
