B) two
C) three

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A capacitor-start capacitor-run motor operates as a two-phase motor, where the two phases are shifted in time by the capacitor. The start winding and the run winding are both energized, which creates two magnetic fields shifted by a small angle of a few degrees. This allows the motor to rotate smoothly and generate high starting torque.
