Rotor speed: The speed at which the rotor of an induction motor rotates. It is always slightly slower than the synchronous speed due to slip.
Synchronous speed: The speed at which the rotating magnetic field of the stator in an induction motor rotates. It is determined by the frequency of the power supply and the number of poles in the motor.

Rotor speed: The actual speed at which the rotor of an induction motor rotates.
Synchronous speed: The theoretical speed at which the rotor would rotate if it were rotating in perfect synchronism with the rotating magnetic field produced by the stator. It is calculated as:
``` Ns = 120 - f / P ```
where:
- Ns is the synchronous speed in rpm - f is the frequency of the supply voltage in Hz - P is the number of poles in the motor
