If excitation of a synchronous motor running with a constant load is decreased from its normal value, ignoring effects of armature reaction, it leads to

A increase in both armature current and power factor angle
B increase in back e.m.f. but decrease in armature current
C increase in both armature current and power factor which is lagging
D increase in torque angle but decrease in back e.m.f.

Correct Answer: increase in both armature current and power factor angle
