2. Which of the following statements about a three-phase induction motor is false?


[a] The speed of rotation of the magnetic field is called the synchronous speed
[b] A three-phase supply connected to the rotor produces a rotating magnetic field
[c] The rotating magnetic field has a constant speed and constant magnitude
[d] It is essentially a constant speed type machine

3. Which of the following statements is false when referring to a three-phase induction motor?
[a] The synchronous speed is half the supply frequency when it has four poles
[b] In a 2-pole machine, the synchronous speed is equal to the supply frequency
[c] If the number of poles is increased, the synchronous speed is reduced
