Announcements
This is the first lesson in the iKNOW™ AC/DC Motor Theory Library. This
lesson identifies the components of an AC motor and explains their
functions. Basic magnetic principles, sine waves, methods of increasing
magnetic flux in a conductor, and how a rotating field is created in an
AC Motor are presented.

Introduction to AC Components and Motors
The second lesson in the iKNOW™ AC/DC Motor Theory Library, this lesson
explains synchronous speed and how to calculate it. The lesson
demonstrates the relationship between phased current and rotor spin and
induction and its effect on a rotor. Slip and how to calculate slip
using its formula are also covered.
