The synchronous generator shown in the figure is supplying active power to an infinite
bus via two short, lossless transmission lines, and is initially in steady state. The
mechanical power input to the generator and the voltage magnitude E are constant. If one
line is tripped at time t1 by opening the circuit breakers at the two ends (although there is
no fault), then it is seen that the generator undergoes a stable transient. Which one of the
