Assertion (A): A synchronous motor cannot start with its field excited.

Reason (R): The torque on a stationary rotor field reverses every half cycle.

Select the correct option.

  • A.A is true but R is false, the torque being steady in that condition
  • B.A is false but R is true, such a machine starting readily with the field on
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A at all

Answer: C

A revolving stator field sweeping past a stationary rotor field gives an alternating torque whose average over a revolution is nothing. The reason is exactly why the field has to wait until the rotor is nearly up to speed.
