The document discusses different types of windings in electric machines. The armature winding induces voltage when current flows through it. The field winding produces the main magnetic flux. A turn consists of two connected conductors, and several turns form a coil. Multiple coils connected in series form a winding. For a P-pole machine, the electrical degree is defined as the angular distance between pole centers, which is always 180 degrees regardless of the number of poles. A coil spans two slots on the stator surface, and the distance between the coil sides is called the coil pitch. A coil pitch equal to the pole pitch is a full pitch coil, while a shorter coil pitch is a short or fractional pitch coil.
