The difference between the synchronous speed and the actual speed of an induction motor is known as-

The correct answer is

Slip

This difference between the synchronous speed (N_s) and the actual rotor speed (N_r) is precisely what is known as Slip . As discussed, Slip is the specific term used to define the difference between the synchronous speed of the stator field and the actual mechanical speed of the rotor in an induction motor.
