In a synchronous motor, the magnitude of stator back e.m.f. & depends on_______________?

Correct answer: A. d.c. excitation only

  • A. d.c. excitation only
  • B. speed of the motor
  • C. load on the motor
  • D. both the speed and rotor flux

Explanation

At constant supply frequency, synchronous speed is fixed, so the stator back-emf magnitude is controlled mainly by the rotor's DC excitation. Increasing field current increases rotor flux and hence the induced back emf.
