It made possible some practical applications: the electriclight and electric telegraph. The practical use of electricity on alarger scale became possible after developing electromagnetic machines, generators and transformers.
It is considered that the development of the induction motor has become the most importanttechnical achievement. At first, the induction motor had a constantand unchangeable speed (скорость). Some years later a motor withtwo speeds was designed. Since its invention the induction motorhas been considerably improved and its power increased. But theprinciple of operation still remains the same.51CONVERSATIONExercise 1.
