AC Machines: Synchronous and Induction Motors Explained
AC Machines: Types and Differences with DC
AC machines encompass synchronous motors and generators, where the inductor winding’s current requirement is provided by a DC source independent of the machine. The induction machine is primarily used as a motor, and the inductor winding current is supplied through magnetic induction.
Key differences between AC and DC machines include:
- The location of the induction and induced coils differs depending on the type of machine.
- In AC machines, there is no electrical

Fission
This reaction is caused by the bombardment of certain nuclides of high atomic number with neutrons. After absorbing a neutron, the nucleus splits into two nuclides of lower atomic number and additional neutrons, releasing energy corresponding to the mass difference between initial and final particles. In the above example, this should be greater than 200 MeV. This energy appears as kinetic energy of product particles and gamma rays. The neutrons generated in the process can also interact
