Question 40Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B) single-phase induction motor. A shaded-pole motor is a type of single-phase induction motor, which is a class of electric motors that operate on single-phase alternating current (AC) power. Single-phase induction motors are commonly used in small household and commercial appliances due to their simple design and cost-effectiveness. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the classification of a shaded-pole motor. Polyphase synchronous motors, DC compound wound motors, and three-phase induction motors are different types of electric motors with distinct characteristics and applications, and they are not the correct classification for a shaded-pole motor.
