Please provide full answer.  Don't provide incomplete solution. 

A 480-V 200-kVA 0.8-power-factor-lagging 60-Hz two-pole Y-connected synchronous generator has
a synchronous reactance of 0.25 2 and an armature resistance of 0.03 N. At 60 Hz, its friction and
windage losses are 6 kW, and its core losses are 4 kW. The field circuit has a de voltage of 200 V, and
the maximum IF is 10 A. The resistance of the field circuit is adjustable over the range from 20 to
2002.
The OCC of this generator is shown in Fig. 1.
(a) How much field current is required to make VT equal to 480 V when the generator is running at no
load?
(b) What is the internal generated voltage of this machine at rated conditions?
(c) How much field current is required to make VT equal to 480 V when the generator is running at
rated conditions?
How much power and torque must the generator's prime mover be capable of supplying?
