A three phase alternator has negligible stator resistance. A short circuit test is conducted on this alternator. At a particular speed a field current of $${{\rm I}_f}$$ is required to drive the rated armature current. If the speed of the alternator is reduced to half, the field current required to maintain rated armature current

A synchronous motor operates at $$0.8$$ $$p.f.$$ lagging. If the field current of the motor is continuously increased
$$(1)$$ the power factor decreases upto a certain value of field current and thereafter it increases
$$(2)$$ the armature current increases upto a certain value of field current and thereafter it decreases
$$(3)$$ the power factor increases upto a certain value of field current and thereafter it decreases
$$(4)$$ the armature current decreases upto a certain value of field current and thereafter it increases. From these the correct one is
