| Concerning the operating characteristics of a synchronous motor, what statement is true? |
| A) The synchronous motor initially starts as a synchronous motor and when it approaches synchronous speed, the motor continues to run as a synchronous motor. |
| B) The synchronous motor initially starts as a synchronous motor and when it approaches synchronous speed, the motor then runs as an induction motor. |
| C) The synchronous motor initially starts as an induction motor and when it approaches synchronous speed, the motor continues to run as an induction motor. |
| D) The synchronous motor initially starts as an induction motor and when it approaches synchronous speed, the motor then runs as a synchronous motor. |
