A 3-φ alternator has negligible stator resistance. A short circuit test is conducted on this alternator. At a particular speed, a field current of If1 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

  Cannot be predicted due to insufficient data.
 Would be equal to If1/2.
 Would be equal to If1.
 Woud be equal to 2If1.

A dc shunt generator, when commissioned after a major repair of the field system, failed to build Up voltage. It was because

 field system lost residual magnetism
 field resistance was higher than critical resistance
 field winding was wrongly connected
 there was a break in the armature circuit
