In a dc generator operating on load with its brushes on the geometrical neutral axis (GNA), the magnetic neutral axis (MNA) is shifted in the direction of rotation. Now, if the brushes are given a lead of 90° (electrical), then the MNA will

 shift forward by less than 90°
 shift forward by 90°
 shift forward by more than 90°
 coincide with the GNA

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

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