Explanation

The induced e.m.f. in the rotor of a squirrel cage motor is proportional to the slip, which is the difference between synchronous speed and rotor speed. Specifically, it is the slip multiplied by the e.m.f. that would be induced if the rotor were stationary (standstill e.m.f.). This relationship is fundamental to the operation of induction motors.
