Why are almost all large, synchronous generators rotating field generators?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Assume a hydraulic proportional valve receives a 4-20 mA signal to control the hydraulic cylinder that extends or retracts to set the position of the blade pitch between 0 and 80 degrees. What current will set the pitch to 65o?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Because the there are no slip rings or brushes (or any moving contacts) between the armature and the output terminals as in the case of a rotating armature generator.

Answer to Question 2

The range of 4-20 mA is 16 mA.

16 mA/80 degrees = 0.2 mA/degree + 4 mA offset (0.2 mA x 65 degrees + 4 mA) = 17 mA.
