Final answer:
Single-phase motors with only two leads are not designed to operate at multiple voltages or directions; this statement is false.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that single-phase motors which only have two leads are meant to be operated at more than one voltage in more than one direction is false. Single-phase motors with two leads are typically designed to operate at a single voltage and direction. To operate at multiple voltages or to change the direction of the motor, additional leads and often a switch or connection change would be necessary. The functionality of a motor in terms of voltage and direction is determined by its windings and connections.
