Definitions:

Dropout Current

The minimum current level at which a device, like a relay, deactivates or returns to its "off" state.

Magnetic Lines

Invisible lines of magnetic force that emanate from magnetic fields, showing the direction a magnetic force acts.

Flux

Flux, in the context of electromagnetism, refers to the rate of flow of a property per unit area, such as the magnetic field lines per unit area in a magnetic circuit.

Induction Motor

An induction motor is a type of asynchronous electric motor where power is supplied to the rotor by electromagnetic induction, rather than direct electrical connection.
