    1. All conditions excitation is the correct Ans. Because as load changes armature current also changes they are directly proportional to each other under constant excitation whatever may be the power factor

      Delete
    2. No its 4 is correct because armature current wil increase for all excitation if load increases

      Delete
  2. Q-10 actually it is under all conditions excitation is the right Ans because he didn't mention here power factor and even whatever be the power factor load is proportional to armature current under constant excitation...
