The slip of an induction motor at standstill is

  • A.zero
  • B.negative
  • C.infinite
  • D.unity

Answer: D

Correct answer: unity

\[ s = \frac{N_s - N}{N_s}, \] so at standstill \( N=0 \) and \( s=1 \). The slip runs from unity at rest down to a few per cent at full load and to zero only at synchronous speed, which a motor never reaches because it would then have no induced rotor current and no torque. Slip goes negative only when the machine is driven above synchronous speed and generates.
