What is the function of the slip in an induction motor?
A. To allow the rotor to lag behind the stator field
B. To prevent excessive current in the rotor
C. To adjust the motor speed
D. To provide starting torque
Explanation:
Slip is the difference between the speed of the rotor and the speed of the magnetic field. It allows the rotor to lag behind the stator field, which is necessary for torque production.
