Why is it that the air gap flux density is flat topped at no load. What happens to it's shape when machine is loaded?

SUMMARY
The air gap flux density in a DC machine exhibits a flat-topped profile at no load due to the sole influence of the field current's magnetomotive force (MMF). Upon loading, the armature current alters the shape of the flux density due to armature reaction, which modifies the magnetic field distribution. The relationship between flux, MMF, and reluctance is confirmed, and the air gap is generally considered constant under the pole piece.
