In a single phase Induction Motor, the auxiliary and running windings are spaced _________electrically apart.

Option 1: 180°

Option 2: 90°

Option 3: 360°

Option 4: 270°


Correct Option: 2

Explanation

In a single phase induction motor, the auxiliary and running windings are spaced 90° electrically apart. This creates a phase difference between the fluxes produced by the two windings in a rotating magnetic field, which produces starting torque and allows the motor to start rotating. The auxiliary winding is highly resistive and has a few turns with a small diameter, while the main winding is highly inductive.
