SUMMARY
The load angle of a synchronous motor at no load is definitively 0 degrees. This conclusion arises from the fact that active power is proportional to the sine of the load angle; with no load present, there is no active power, resulting in a zero load angle. Additionally, the rotor's magnetic field aligns with the stator's resultant magnetic field under these conditions, confirming that both fields are in alignment.
