Why the synchronous machine rotate at synchronous speed?

The spatial distribution of the windings in the armature is designed in a way such that it produce a rotating field when a three phase source is applied to its terminals. The field windings have a DC field applied to it and it is rotated mechanically by a prime mover. If the prime mover tried to rotate the synchronous machine at speed higher than its synchronous value then the power output of the generator will increase and this causes the speed to "lock" again to the synchronous one. If the prime mover applied less torque then the machine will slow down but the power output will decrease DUE TO DECEASE in the applied torque and this cause the machine to "lock" again to synchronous speed of the grid. The same principle can be applied to synchronous motors except that torque is negative (i.e. the prime mover is applying negative torque)
