motor magnetizing current will increase with increase in voltage, therefore power factor of motor will decrease and motor will draw more current than rated.

What is voltage controlled device?

RPS is only the voltage& power controlled device. it can
only used for set the input for our wish
A device which can change its output according to the voltage
supplied to it is called a voltage controlled device.ex. a voltage
controlled current source,or a field effect transistor.
In a voltage controlled current source the output current
changes as the voltage supplied to it changes.

What is the effect of internal resistance of the source to its output voltage?

When a load current flows, as well as flowing through the load,
it also flows, internally, through the voltage source. A load
current, therefore, causes an internal voltage drop which, by
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, opposes, the electromotive force of the
source. The larger the load current, the greater the internal
voltage drop.
So, the terminal voltage of a voltage source will decrease as
the load current increases.
By definition, the e.m.f. of the source is equal to the sum of
all the voltage drops (including the internal voltage drop) around
any closed loop supplied by that source.

Why are alternative voltage and current expresed in rms values insteed of average value?

There is no such thing as 'alternative voltage'! The term you
want is 'alternating voltage'.
The average value of an a.c. voltage or current over a
complete cycle is zero, so it is not very useful to think of
a.c. in terms of average values. Instead, we look at its 'heating
effect' of the a.c. current, and compare it with the heating effect
of a continuous, d.c. current. If a current of say, 10 A d.c.
produces a particular heating effect, then an a.c. current of 10 A
(rms) will result in exactly the same heating effect. This is why
'rms' values are also called 'effective' values, as it has exactly
the same effect as a d.c. current of the same value.
