JMAG Simulation of Rotating Magnetic Flux in Induction Motor

This video shows that poly-phase and multi-phase induction machines really produce a rotating magnetic field in the air gap. The moving magnetic field is responsible for the induction of rotor emf and resultant rotor currents.

The establishment of a rotating flux explains why the poly-phase and multi-phase induction machines are self starting.

Observe how the current density changes together with the magnetic flux density.
