1. In principle, any power generator has a rotor with magnets and coil on the periphery, one rotation of rotor is one cycle of 360 degrees.
2. Suppose the generator has one magnet and one coil, then as the magnet/rotor rotates one turn, the voltage generated in the coil gradually rises and reaches peak (max) when the coil comes closest to the magnet and reduces gradually as the magnet moves away.
3. Suppose we connect the bulb then the flicker rate is clearly visible. This is called 360 deg, single phase AC.
4. Now, suppose the generator has two magnets and two coils placed equidistantly, then the flicker rate is increased, it is 2-phase, 360/2=180 degrees AC.
5. Say generator has 3 magnets and 3 coils placed equidistantly, then the flicker rate is much increased; it is 3 phase with 360/3=120 degrees AC.
6. if we have 4 magnets and 4 coils placed equidistantly then the flicker rate is much more increased (not visible), then it is 4-phase with 360/4=90 degrees, 4-phase AC.
7. In practice, 3-phase is much more suitable for design.

Key takeaways:
1. One rotation of rotor is one cycle of 360 degrees.
2. If we have 4 magnets and 4 coils placed equidistantly then the flicker rate is much more increased.
1. A rotating magnetic field is the resultant magnetic field produced by a system of coils symmetrically placed and supplied with polyphase currents.
2. A rotating magnetic field can be produced by a poly-phase (two or more phases) current or by a single phase current provided that, in the latter case, two field windings are supplied and are so designed that the two resulting magnetic fields generated thereby are out of phase.
3. When we apply a three-phase supply to a three-phase distributed winding of a rotating machine, a rotating magnetic field is produced which rotates in synchronous speed.
4. For that, we will first imagine one stator of an electric motor where three-phase winding is physically distributed in the stator core in such a manner that winding of each phase is separated from other by 120o in space.

5. Although the vector sum of three currents in a balanced three-phase system is zero at any instant, but the resultant of the magnetic fields produced by the currents is not zero rather it will have a constant non-zero value rotating in space in respect to time.
