A Simple AC Generator
A
four-pole alternator
The elementary 3-phase 2-pole round rotor synchronous generator has a stator
equipped with 3 coils displaced 120o from each other; although shown as
concentrated, they actually are distributed. When the rotor is excited with dc and
rotated, the resultant field will also rotate so that sinusoidal voltages are
generated in the 3 stator phases.

AC Motors
Induction motor
Initially Rotor stationary
So, EMF induced in the rotor windings/conductors.
Already short circuited.
So, Current flows and flux is set up.
Interaction between stator and rotor flux; torque generated.
Torque opposes its own cause; induced flux in the rotor;
So, rotor starts rotating in the same direction as that of stator
magnetic field.

Synchronous Motor
No difference between the stator of induction and
synchronous motors.
Rotor has a permanent magnet or electro magnet;
so, has independent flux.
This magnet is dragged along with the stator
rotating magnetic field.
So, rotates at 2f/p rps OR does not rotate at all.
