SIngle phase ac motor question

My understanding is that you must have a rotating magnet field todrive an ac motor. Hence often a capacitor start system is used with asecond winding (for single phase) which is switched off once the motoris started. Essentially this is a two-phase motor for Itherefore wrong with the idea that a single phase on its own will notrotate a motor since there is a single phase and one coil only afterthe thing has started? How does a single phase give a rotating field?Hardy

She laughed, gave me a high-five, and disappeared. We would have had to move to Utah, so it's just as well that she turned me down.
