Why the air gap of an induction motor is made as small as possible?

Description : Why the air gap of an induction motor is made as small as possible?

Last Answer : The mmf and the magnetizing current are primarily decided by length of air gap. If air gap is small then mmf and magnetizing current will be low, which in turn increase the value of power factor. Hence by keeping small air gap, high power factor is achieved.
