The torque of a switched reluctance machine arises from

  • A.currents induced in the rotor by the revolving stator field
  • B.the interaction of a permanent magnet with the current in the stator winding
  • C.the commutation of the rotor current by brushes
  • D.the tendency of the rotor to align with the excited stator poles

Answer: D

Correct answer: the tendency of the rotor to align with the excited stator poles

The rotor moves so as to minimise the reluctance of the magnetic circuit, bringing its poles into line with whichever stator poles are excited. Exciting the phases in sequence keeps the rotor chasing the alignment. No current is induced in the rotor and no magnet is involved.
