More current in the field coils means a stronger magnetic field for the armature to rotate in. This causes the output voltage for a generator to increase.
For a motor, more magnetic field means that the supply voltage can be matched at a slower armature rotation speed, so the motor runs more slowly but can supply more torque.
What else can I help you with?
If the excitation of generator changes what happens to the terminal voltage?
By Decreasing the excitation voltage the terminal voltage will decrease and similarly by increasing the excitation voltages the terminal voltage will also increases.
How to test Excitation Current of a transformer?
To test the excitation current of a transformer, you can perform an open-circuit test, where the primary winding is connected to the rated voltage while the secondary winding is left open. Measure the current flowing through the primary winding using an ammeter; this current is the excitation current. It's essential to ensure the transformer is at the specified voltage and frequency during the test for accurate results. Additionally, record the voltage and power factor for further analysis if needed.
What effects causes the difference in terminal voltage between the increasing and decreasing field excitation current?

Where does the voltage that is necessary for field excitation on the rotor originates from?
The excitation current is provided by a small self-excited pilot generator, attached to the same shaft as the alternator's rotor.
What happen to the current when the voltage increased if the resistance are constant?
If voltage increases when current remains constant then resistance must also increase. Ohm's Law: Voltage = Current times Resistance.
Why The Excitation current is non-sinusoidal when applied voltage is sinusoidal?
excitation voltage is sinusoidal because it is taken from the terminal of alternator but excitation current is non-sinusoidal because it always dc.
What effect if excitation voltage raise on load?
The generator terminal voltage will increase.
What is meant by regulation or an alternator?
Regulation of an alternator is varying or adjusting the d.c. current flow (excitation current) in the revolving field coil to control the output voltage. When an alternator is subject to varying load conditions, and therefore changing load resistance at the output, the output voltage will vary in response. When output voltage is reduced in response to increased load (reduced output resistance), the "voltage regulator" will respond by increasing the excitation current to increase the voltage output. If load is reduced, the generator will momentarily become over-excited and the ouput voltage will increase. The voltage regulator responds by decreasing excitation current, returning the generator output voltage to its nominal level.
Why does the no-load characteristic differ for increasing and decreasing excitation current?
The no-load characteristic of a generator differs for increasing and decreasing excitation current due to magnetic hysteresis, residual magnetism, and core saturation effects. When the excitation current increases, the magnetic domains in the iron core gradually align with the applied magnetic field, resulting in a higher generated electromotive force (EMF). However, as the excitation current decreases, these magnetic domains do not immediately return to their original unaligned state. This lag in realignment causes the generated voltage to remain higher during the decreasing phase of excitation than during the increasing phase at the same level of excitation current. This phenomenon is known as magnetic hysteresis. Even when the excitation current is zero, the magnetic core retains some level of magnetisation, known as residual magnetism. This residual magnetic field means that when the excitation current starts increasing again, it takes additional current to overcome this residual alignment before the generated voltage rises significantly. As a result, the voltage is initially lower when increasing the excitation current from zero. Conversely, during the decreasing phase, the residual magnetism keeps the voltage higher than it would be if the core were fully demagnetised, further contributing to the difference between the increasing and decreasing curves. As the excitation current increases, the magnetic core of the generator approaches saturation. Near saturation, any further increase in excitation current results in only a small increase in generated voltage because the core's magnetic domains are almost fully aligned. When the excitation current decreases from this saturated state, the magnetic domains gradually return to a less aligned state. This gradual realignment causes the generated voltage to decrease differently than it increased, contributing to the asymmetry between the increasing and decreasing excitation phases.

What is knee point voltage of current transformer?

What components comprise the excitation current of a transformer?
A transformer's excitation current can be resolved into two components. The first is in phase with the primary voltage, and is responsible for the losses. The second lags the supply voltage by 90 degrees, and is responsible for magnetising the core.

What is the excitation system in a generator used for?
The excitation system is used to control the excitation of the rotating field in the armature. By increasing the armature current, it in turn increases the magnetic flux in the armature coil. This has the effect of increasing the voltage output of the generator. By lowering the armature current this in turn lowers the generator output voltage. The generator's voltage regulator automatically adjusts the output voltage continuously as the applied load on the generator changes.
