A synchronous motor is running on a load with normal excitation. Now if the load on the motor is increased

A synchronous motor is running on a load with normal excitation. Now if the load on the motor is increased

A. power factor as well as armature current will decrease
B. power factor as well as armature current will increase
C. power factor will increase but armature current will decrease
D. power factor will decrease and armature current will increase

As the load is applied to a synchronous motor, the motor takes more armature current because

As the load is applied to a synchronous motor, the motor takes more armature current because

A. the increased load has to take more current
B. the rotor by shifting its phase backward causes motor to take more current
C. the back e.m.f. decreases causing an increase in motor current
D. the rotor strengthens the rotating field casuing more motor current
