Assertion (A): A synchronous motor runs faster when lightly loaded.

Reason (R): Its torque angle is smaller at light load.

Select the correct option.

  • A.Both A and R are false, the torque angle being independent of the load
  • B.A is false but R is true
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A as it stands
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A at all

Answer: B

The angle is indeed smaller at light load, but the speed is exactly synchronous whatever the loading. Confusing the angle with a change of speed is the standard trap in comparing the synchronous machine with the induction one.
