Electric Motors and Drives: Fundamentals, Types and ApplicationsElectric Motors and Drives is intended for non-specialist users of electric motors and drives, filling the gap between theory-based academic textbooks and the more prosaic 'handbooks', which provide useful detail but little opportunity for the development of real insight and understanding. The book explores all of the widely-used modern types of motor and drive, including conventional and brushless D.C., induction motors and servo drives, providing readers with the knowledge to select the right technology for a given job. Austin Hughes' approach, using a minimum of maths, has established Electric Motors and Drives as a leading guide for engineers, and the key to a complex subject for a wider readership, including technicians, managers and students.

FORCE ON A CURRENT-CARRYING CONDUCTOR LYING IN A MAGNETIC FIELD It has been found that whenever a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a force which acts in a direction perpendicular both to the direction of the current and the field. — Fig. 12 (a) shows the field set up by the poles. — Fig. 12 (b) shows the conductor field due to flow of current in the conductor.
Page 6 - This is a delightfully simple formula, and it may come as a surprise to some readers that there are no constants of proportionality involved in equation 1 .2.
