A synchronous motor has better power factor as compared to that of an equivalent induction motor. This is mainly because
A. synchronous motor has no slip
B. stator supply is not required to produce magnetic field
C. mechanical load on the rotor remains constant
D. synchronous motor has large airgap

A. remains same as the original value
B. decreases to half the original value
C. tends to becomes zero
D. increases to two times the original value
