Armature reaction is demagnetizing in nature due to a purely capacitive load in the synchronous generator.

Armature reaction is demagnetizing in nature due to a purely capacitive load in the synchronous generator. Correct Answer False

Due to a purely capacitive load, armature current is in phase with the field magneto-motive force. Armature magneto-motive force produced due to this current will be in phase with the field flux. It will try to increase the net magnetic field.
