Which outcome results when a synchronous generator's field excitation is suddenly reduced while connected to a power grid?

💡 Explanation

When field excitation decreases, the generator requires more reactive power from the grid to maintain voltage, because the reduced field weakens its generated EMF, creating a reactive power deficit. Therefore reactive power absorption increases, rather than power output or voltage rise, corresponding to an underexcited condition.
