101. A synchronous generator connected to an infinite bus is supplying electrical power at unity p.f. to the bus. If its field current is now increased, then

1. 1. both active and reactive power output of the generator will remain unchanged
      

   
   
   

   2. active power supplied will remain unchanged but the machine will also supply lagging reactive power

   
   
   

   3. active power supplied will increase and the machine will draw leading reactive power

   
   
   

   4. active power supplied will decrease and the machine will supply leading reactive power.
