Rotor
The rotor turns inside a motor and transfers torque to the shaft.
Other learning contexts (2)
In context
A squirrel-cage induction motor uses conductive bars and their connections to carry induced current. Rotor and load mechanical conditions also affect electrical input.
Example
Greater friction in the shaft-connected load increases required torque and may also change motor current.
Key distinction
Electrical input and mechanical load affect one another.
