Question:medium

If the locus of minimum armature currents of V-curves of synchronous motor is a straight line, then the slope of the line is

Show Hint

The locus of minimum armature currents is also called the Unity Power Factor Locus. As load increases, both $I_a$ and $I_f$ must increase to maintain $\cos\theta = 1$. Since both variables grow together, the slope is always positive.
