Slip is a measure of the difference in relative motion between the rotor and the magnetic field set up by the field windings.

In very simple terms, without slip an induction motor would not be able to develop any torque! A slip of zero means that the rotor is turning at synchronous speed; in other words it is running at the same speed as the rotating field set up by the field windings, so there is no relative movement between the field and the rotor. To develop torque, the voltages must be induced into the rotor, and this can only happen if there is relative movement between the field and the rotor -in other words, the rotor MUST be running more slowly than synchronous speed. That is, there must be some degree of slip.
