Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. A distinguishing feature of the synchronous motor is that it runs without slip at a speed determined by the frequency
of the connected power source and the number of poles it contains.

2. The rotor is excited by a source of direct current so that it produces simultaneous north and south poles.

3. Synchronous motors are constructed almost exactly like alternators.

4. AC loads generally have a lagging power factor.

5. A disadvantage of the synchronous motor equipped with a brushless exciter is that brush sparking is eliminated.


1. TRUE
2. FALSE
