• The stator of an AC induction motor is usually made of 3 pairs of electromagnets, as shown

below, each opposite pairs being connected to a phase of a three-phase current generator.
This setup allows for the creation of a rotating magnetic field within the cavity of the stator,
where the rotor is then placed.
• The rotor consists of several metallic bars connected at the ends by 2 metallic plates, as shown
above.
• The rotating B field within the stator creates a change in B flux through the metallic bars of the
∆∅
rotor. By Faraday’s Law, an emf is induced in the bars (𝜀 = − ∆𝑡𝐵). As the rotor in a closed
conductor, induced eddy currents flow in the bars and through the connective end plates.
• By Lenz’s Law, these eddy currents will flow in a direction such that the B field they create will
oppose the change in B flux that induced them in the first place.
• The eddy currents in the bars are in the external B field of the stator and therefore, each of
them will experience a force due to the Motor Effect (F = BILsin θ).
• Currents in opposite bars of the rotor flow in opposite direction so the force acting on them
will be equal in magnitude but in opposite direction, creating a torque on the rotor.
• This torque makes the rotor turn in the SAME direction as that of the rotation of the B field in
the stator, as a consequence of Lenz’s Law, forcing the rotor to try and catch up with the
rotating B field to minimise / counter the change in B flux experienced by the rotor.

- Use diagrams to support their description of the structure of an AC induction motor.
- Make logical links between steps very apparent, using connective words such as “thus”, “therefore”,
“because of that”, “as a consequence”, etc…

Sample Answer:
Experiment 1
The trolley rolls towards the magnet at a constant speed.
By Faraday’s Law, a voltage is induced across the coil (due to the change influx as it approaches the magnet).
Because the switch is open, no current can flow and so no forces can act between the coil and the magnet.
Experiment 2
As with Experiment 1, a voltage is induced.
This time, a current can flow in the coil. By Lenz’s Law, this flows to produce a magnetic field that acts to oppose the
change in flux, i.e. to place a north pole on the right hand end of the solenoid. The trolley experiences a force to the
left, which acts to slow it down.
