Consider the following two statements and choose the correct answer.Statement 1: The V-curves of a synchronous motor show relationship between armature current and supply voltage.Statement 2: The plot of power factor against the field current of synchronous motor is known as inverted V curves.

• A. Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are FALSE
• B. Statement 1 is FALSE and Statement 2 is TRUE
• C. Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are TRUE
• D. Statement 1 is TRUE and Statement 2 is FALSE

Answer: (B)

The V-curves of a synchronous motor show relationship between Armature current (Ia) and Excitation current (If).
The Inverted V-curves of a synchronous motor show relationship between power factor (pf) and field excitation (If).
