It is not appropriate to use Arago's disc to explain the principle of rotation of motors equipped with a
squirrel-cage rotor. It can be better explained with the approach used for DC motors.

As shown in Fig. 2.37, a closed coil is placed in a magnetic field and the outside magnet is rotated. Then, as
seen in the principle of power generation of DC motors, power-generation action occurs on the coil and
current flows through the coil.
As current flows, the coil generates torque that interacts with the original magnetic field, and then the coil
starts rotating.
If you increase the number of coils as shown in Fig. 2.38, you can replace the coils with a cage.

On the actual motors, the mechanism sequentially excites a number of coils in place of moving the magnets
to obtain the same effect. To change the excitation, two or more temporally-shifted sine waves are
necessary.
Generally, three-phase 200 VAC shifted by 120 degrees from each other is used at plants (Fig. 2.39).
Since the power supply for home use is single-phase 100 VAC, we must create, in one way or another, a
sine wave shifted from that of the power supply when using an induction motor. One method is to advance
the coil current phase by 90 degrees using a capacitor. A motor that runs in this fashion is called a
capacitor-run single phase motor.
A capacitor-run single phase motor generates a rotating magnetic field with a set of two windings, one is the
master winding that is connected directly to the power supply and the other is an auxiliary winding that is
connected to the power supply via a capacitor.
