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

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

A compound dc generator is delivering full load current at a terminal voltage of 230 V. Its series-field winding gets short circuited. If its terminal voltage 1. becomes more than 230 V, it is overcompounded generator 2. becomes more than 230 V, it is differentially compounded generator 3. becomes less than 230 V, it is overcompounded generator 4. becomes less than 230 V, it is differentially compounded generator 5. becomes less than 230 V, it is level compounded generator From these, the correct answer is

 1, 4
 2, 3, 5
 2,3
 1, 4, 5
