If the stator poles are spaced 180 degrees apart, what does this imply?

• A. The poles are adjacent
• B. The poles are not magnetized
• C. The poles are 180 degrees apart
• D. The poles are at 90 degrees

Answer: (C)

Spaced 180 degrees apart means the two poles sit opposite each other around the stator circumference, forming a two-pole arrangement with one pole directly opposite the other. This setup creates a magnetic field that is opposite at opposite points and flips once every full rotation. It’s not indicating adjacent poles, it doesn’t imply the poles aren’t magnetized, and it isn’t a 90-degree spacing (which would place poles a quarter turn apart and usually correspond to more poles). So the implication is clear: the stator has two opposite poles.
