The excitation current is provided by a small self-excited pilot generator, attached to the same shaft as the alternator's rotor.
Yes, they can mean the same thing.
The excitation system puts the load on the generator, so if it fails, the generator is liable to overspeed. Think of it as the gears on a bicycle, where your legs are the power source, the gearing is the excitation system. If you're riding along, and suddenly your gears fall off, your legs will start to move very fast. You might hyper extend your knee, your foot might slip off the medal, you could hurt yourself in a bunch of different ways because you expect the resistance to be there and it is suddenly gone. The same applies to a generator - it's designed to run at specific speeds. Going significantly faster can cause all kinds of problems.
Some generators are self excited; this means their terminal voltage is fed back to the excitation system to supply power to the rotor of the generator (which makes it into an electromagnet); the more power that is fed back, the stronger the electromagnet becomes, which makes it harder to turn the generator, which causes the generator to push out more power (simplified, really quick version). If there is a fault electrically near the terminal of a self excited generator, the terminal voltage will sage to near zero; this means the voltage supplied to the excitation system will drop by the same percentage (say the terminal voltage is 30% of what it should be, then the maximum supplied voltage to the excitation system drops to 30% of what it normally is, since P = V*I). Since the input power is less, the output of the generator will decrease (current will decrease). The terminal voltage is determined by the impedance between the generator and the fault such that V = I*Z; As I decreases, V will also continue to fall, causing the terminal voltage to sag even more. A non-self excited generator gets its' excitation power from the grid, specifically from a location that is electrically separated from its' terminal voltage. If the terminal voltage sagged to 30% (same fault location as above example), the excitation system voltage may be impacted slightly (say 2%) so the excitation system power is near maximum (98% for this example). Since the excitation system is much farther removed from the terminal voltage, it is not dependent upon it, thus the terminal voltage will not continue to sag as with a self excited system.
The speed of a generator only effects the frequency. Most generators operate at 1800 RPM. The output voltage is controlled by varying the field excitation voltage.
yes. excitation current is same as field current to my knowledge

Excess of anything is harmful . If you are gating excitation from inside and do this, than no problem. But one think, if you are doing the same thing again and again and it becomes your habit then your habit will bound you to do this again and again. this is the bed thing
Excitation energy for any 2 atoms is compared only for those electrons in the same energy shell.so as we go down the group the energy required to promote the electron in the same orbit to highest possible energy state increases due to the increase in effective nuclear charge
No, they are not the same thing. Mean and average are the same thing.
Synchronous impedance is also known as the EMF method. It is a ratio of open circuits to short circuits, when they both are referred to the same field excitation.
This phrase suggests that despite appearances, certain fundamental aspects remain constant. It reflects the idea that while there may be advancements or changes in various areas, underlying themes or patterns often persist in our lives or society.
the same thing she did
No they are not the same thing
no it is not the same thing.
Yes, they are the same thing.
Yes they are the same thing
