The net armature voltage of a synchronous motor is equal to the_______________?

Correct answer: D. vector difference of Eh and V

  • A. vector sum of Eb and V
  • B. arithmetic sum of Eb and V
  • C. arithmetic difference of Eb and V
  • D. vector difference of Eh and V

Explanation

The voltage across the synchronous impedance is obtained from the phasor difference between the applied voltage and the back e.m.f., not by ordinary arithmetic subtraction. Option d expresses this vector difference, with “Eh” evidently intended to mean Eb.
