Speed of an induction motor is independent of the number of stator poles. Correct Answer False

Speed of an induction motor is dependent of the number of stator poles. Since the formula for synchronous speed is given by Ns = 120*f/P, where Ns represents the synchronous speed, f represents the frequency and P is the number of stator poles. And the Speed of induction motor is given by N = Ns*(1-s) , where N represents the speed of induction motor, Ns represents the synchronous speed and s is the slip. Therefore it can be clearly seen that it is dependent on the number of stator poles.
