In what part of an electric motor does the induced current flow?

The induced current in an electric motor primarily flows in the rotor. The rotor is the rotating part of the motor, and it is where the interaction with the magnetic field occurs, which is essential for generating motion.

In an electric motor, when a current flows through the stator windings, it creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field interacts with the conductors in the rotor, inducing a current according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. This induced current flows through the rotor, creating its own magnetic field, which then interacts with the stator's field. The result is a torque that causes the rotor to spin.

While the stator is responsible for producing the magnetic field and the commutator and slip rings play a role in ensuring that the current to the rotor is properly managed to maintain consistent motion, the actual flow of the induced current occurs in the rotor itself as it interacts with the magnetic fields generated by the stator.
