A wave is a disturbance that is somewhat analogous to
the wave that is created when a rock is dropped into a
pond. Despite their similarities, however, electrical wavescannot be seen directly.

All periodic waves can be constructed from sine
waves, which is why sine waves are fundamental.

DC for operating electrical devices and charging the battery.
AC is more efficient to produce and can be easily regulated,
hence it is generated and converted to DC by diodes.

There are two major classifications of AC motors.
These are the induction motorand the synchronous
motor. Both types use a rotating field in the stator
windings.
Rotor current in an induction motor is induced by the
changing current in the stator. This current creates a
magnetic field that reacts with the moving field of the
stator, which develops a torque and causes the rotorto turn.

There are two major classifications of AC motors.
These are the induction motorand the synchronous
motor. Both types use a rotating field in the stator
windings.
Synchronous motors have a magnet for a rotor. In small
motors, this can be a permanent magnet, which keeps up
with the rotating field of the stator. Large motors use an
electromagnet in the rotor, with external DC supplied to
generate the magnetic field.
