Answer: a
Explanation: For constant real power output the component
of the excitation voltage lagging to Vt should remain
constant as per the phasor diagram.
Answer: a
Explanation: ‘Ef*sinδ’ is to be maintained constant. so if
excitation voltage increases then the load angle must
decrease.

Answer: a
Explanation: Inverted v-curves are plotted between power
factor and field current for constant shaft load.
Answer: a
Explanation: An over excited synchronous motor acts as a
source of lagging reactive power and so the overall power
factor improves.
Answer: a
Explanation: Adding synchronous motor will improve the pf
of the system but then the induction motor will still work at
lagging pf only.
