Question: What is the 'slip' in an AC induction motor?

Answer options: ✅ The difference in speed between the rotor and the stator's rotating magnetic field.

  • The ratio of output power to input power.
  • The amount of current leaking from the windings to ground.
  • The angle between the voltage and current waveforms.

Correct answer: The difference in speed between the rotor and the stator's rotating magnetic field.

Explanation: Slip is the fundamental principle by which an induction motor operates. It is the percentage difference between the synchronous speed of the rotating magnetic field in the stator and the actual mechanical speed of the rotor.
