No he did not that was a poor choice.
The correct answer is C. The split phase motor has two windings on the stator.
A split phase AC induction motor runs on a single phase and splits the phase into two windings, a run winding, and a start winding, on the stator. The start winding axes is 90 degrees electrically to the run winding. This helps to produce a rotating magnetic field at startup and gets the motor spinning. This secondary 'start' winding on the stator is a key feature of split phase motors.
itemCost = input("Enter cost of items: ")
totalCost = 15 * float(itemCost)
print(totalCost)
The first line gets the total cost of the item from the user. The second line calculates the cost of 15 of those items and stores that value in the variable totalCost. The last line is just to test that our calculation works. I hope this helps!
