Question: A 2 5 - kW , 2 5 0 - V d . c . shunt generator has armature and field resistances of 0 .

A 25-kW,250-V d.c. shunt generator has armature and field resistances of 0.06 ohms and 100 ohm respectively. The total armature power developed when working as a motor taking 25 kW input equals:
(a)26.25 kW
(b)23.8 kW
(c)25 kW
(d)24.4 kW
Please provide the correct analysis, there has been previous answer for this, however, my understanding is that even though the question mentions it is a shunt generator I(armature)=I(line)+I(field), however it suddenly refers to when it "works as a motor taking 25kW input", therefore it should be I(armature)=I(line)-I(field). Furthermore, since the question is asking what is the total armature power developed, should the formula just P(armature)= I(armature)*Ea or Vt - I(armarure)*R(armature). Thank you for reading thus far and I hope you are able to assist me with this understanding...
