When are the magnets rotated in the stator??? instead of the coil???

motors... generators... AC ... DC ???

Thankyouuu

In most large scale AC generators a rotating electromagnet is used to induce currents in the stator.
In AC induction motors a rotating magnetic field (not magnet) is used to produce motion.

dont know whether youll bother to look at this its a really late reply but, whatever we build (or the teacher demonstrates in the lab) is a simple AC/DC motor and although fundamentally similar they do differ from "real" ac/dc motors..

As helper said "real" or large scale ac motors will contain a rotating field structure. Other differences include:

- Simple usually contains a field structure consisting of a common bar magnet, "real would used electromagnets to intensify the the magnetic flux.
- Simple would use a single coil, a real would used two coils at 90 degress to each other which increases torque and hence efficiencey of the motor
- An real AC generators would contain coils which a 120 degrees out of phase to produce three sets of voltages....

hope i helped =]
