A DC shunt generator builds up to a voltage of 220 V at no load while running at its rated speed. If the speed of the generator is raised by 25% kepping the circuit conditions unaltered, then the Voltage to which the machine would build up will

 not change and remain at 220 V
 increase to value lying between 220 V and 1.25 times 220 V
 increase to a value greater than 1.25 times 220 V
 increase to 1.25 times 220 V

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.
 Woud be equal to 2If1.
 Would be equal to If1/2.
 Would be equal to If1.
