A variable reluctance stepper motor has a rotor that is

  • A.wound with a three-phase winding brought out to slip rings
  • B.smooth and cylindrical with no teeth at all
  • C.toothed soft iron with no winding or magnet
  • D.fitted with permanent magnets between its teeth

Answer: C

Correct answer: toothed soft iron with no winding or magnet

The variable reluctance rotor is simply a shaped piece of soft iron, which makes it cheap, robust and light - a low inertia that suits rapid stepping. The price is that with no magnet there is no detent torque, so the rotor is free to turn when the machine is de-energised.
