        Forces and fields in a current-carrying conductor
        (a) Field produced by a current-carrying conductor in a slot.(b) Air-gap field due to stator excitation and no current;symmetrical slot 
        field.
 (c) Asymmetrical field due to combined action of conductor current and stator 
        excitation. Force is mainly exerted on the rotor iron core and not on the 
        conductor.
 (d) Force on a current-carrying conductor of lenght l in a magnetic field.
 (e) Voltage induced in a conductor due to its motion through an external 
        magnetic field (flux-cutting rule).
