A 3-phase induction motor is fed at the stator at a frequency f. If the rotor speed is Nr and synchronous speed is Ns, then the absolute speed of the resultant flux in space is?
(a) Ns
(b) (Ns+Nr) if the flux rotates in the same same direction as the rotor
(c) (Ns-Nr) if the flux rotates in the same same direction as the rotor
(d) Nr
I had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.
