If R decreases to 5 , the total field resistance becomes 29 , and the terminal voltage line gets

shallower. The new point where the distance between the E A and V T curves is exactly 4.5 V
corresponds to a terminal voltage of 125 V, as shown below.

Note that decreasing the field resistance of the shunt generator increases the terminal voltage.
