    The document discusses torque production in electric machines. Torque is produced when a current-carrying loop is placed in a magnetic field due to the Lorentz force. The magnitude of torque depends on factors like current, loop area, and angle between the loop and magnetic field planes. A rotating magnetic field can be produced in a three-phase stator winding by applying currents with 120 degree phase differences, causing the rotor to synchronize and rotate with the rotating stator field.

    Torque
    Torque is produced in a current-carrying loop in a magnetic field due to the interaction between the magnetic field
    and the current.

    In more detail, when a current-carrying loop is placed in a magnetic field, the magnetic field exerts a force on the
    current. This force is perpendicular to both the direction of the current and the magnetic field. This is known as the
    Lorentz force. The Lorentz force acting on different sides of the loop can create a turning effect or torque,
    causing the loop to rotate.

    The magnitude of the torque depends on several factors.


     it is directly proportional to the current flowing through the loop. The greater the current, the greater the force
    exerted by the magnetic field, and hence the greater the torque.
     it is also directly proportional to the area of the loop. A larger loop means a larger area for the magnetic field to
    act upon, resulting in a larger torque.
     it depends on the angle between the plane of the loop and the magnetic field. The torque is maximum when the
    plane of the loop is perpendicular to the magnetic field.
    The Rotating Magnetic Field

    If two magnetic fields are present in a machine, .then a torque will be created which will tend to line up the two magnetic
    fields. If one magnetic field is produced by the stator of an ac machine and the other one is produced by the rotor of the
    machine, then a torque will be induced in the rotor which will cause the rotor to turn and align itself with the stator
    magnetic field. If there were some way to make the stator magnetic field rotate, then the induced torque in the rotor would
    cause it to constantly "chase" the stator magnetic field around in a circle.
    How to produce a rotating magnetic field in a three-phase stator?
    How can the stator magnetic field be made to rotate?
    The fundamental principle of ac machine operation is that if “a three-phase set of currents, each of equal magnitude and
    differing in phase by 120°, flows in a three-phase winding, then it will produce a rotating magnetic field of constant
    magnitude.”

    Three-phase stator
    A set of currents are applied to the 3-phase stator coils
    The direction of the magnetic field vector is given by the
    right-hand rule: If the fingers of the right hand curl in the
    direction of the current flow in the coil, then the resulting
    magnetic field is in the direction that the thumb points
    Flux densities resulting from these currents are;

    In general, if the number of magnetic poles on an ac machine stator is P, then there are P/2 repetitions of the winding
    sequence a-c' -b-a' -c-b' around its inner surface, and the electrical and mechanical quantities on the stator are related
