In all machine stator and rotor magnetic field rotates (stationary with respect to each other) at synchronous speed with respect to stationary observer.

For reduction of harmonics method is given below:
Chording
integral slot winding
skewing
larger air gap
Sr≠Ss : avoid cogging
Sr-Ss≠P,2P,5P avoid synchronous cusps
Sr -Ss ≠ 3P avoid magnetic locking
here, Sr is number of rotor slot, Ss is number of stator slot
Ns = 120f/P
Slip=(Ns-Nr)/Ns
Ns = 1000 and Nr = 960
from equation of slip, S = (1000-960)/1000
S = 0.04 or 4%
