An induction motor rotates at a speed less than the synchronous speed, i.e. the speed of the rotating magnetic field, N_{s}. If the rotor speed is N_{r}, then the difference between N_{s}  and  N_{r} is called the slip, S. Slip S is expressed in percentage or per unit.

Percentage slip, S =\frac {(N_{s} -N_{r})}{N_{s} }×100

Normally, the slip varies from 3 to 5 per cent.
