Questions and Answers

What is the phenomenon responsible for inducing an electromotive force across the electrical conductor in an induction motor?

  • Electromagnetic conduction
  • Electromagnetic induction (correct)
  • Electromagnetic resistance
  • Electromagnetic rotation

What is the difference between synchronous speed and rotor speed called in an induction motor?

  • Speed deviation
  • Synchronous deviation
  • Slip (correct)
  • Rotor lag

Why are induction motors referred to as 'asynchronous motors'?

  • They operate at a speed less than synchronous speed (correct)
  • They operate at a speed equal to synchronous speed
  • They do not operate based on electromagnetic induction
  • They operate at a speed greater than synchronous speed
