In a split phase motor, the running winding should have

high resistance and low inductance
low resistance and high inductance
high resistance as well as high inductance
low resistance as well as low inductiance

The correct answer is: A. high resistance and low inductance.

The running winding of a split phase motor is the winding that is responsible for keeping the motor running once it has been started. It is connected to the power supply through a capacitor, which creates a phase difference between the current in the running winding and the current in the starting winding. This phase difference causes a torque that keeps the motor running.

The running winding must have a high resistance so that it draws a small current. This small current produces a small magnetic field that does not interfere with the magnetic field produced by the starting winding. The running winding must also have a low inductance so that it can easily change its current when the phase difference between the two windings changes.

Option B is incorrect because the running winding must have a low inductance. Option C is incorrect because the running winding must have a high resistance. Option D is incorrect because the running winding must have a low inductance.
