Question

In a series motor, the field electromagnet consists of A) a winding connected in parallel with the armature. B) a winding connected in parallel with the armature and a second winding connected in series with the armature. C) a winding connected in series with the armature. D) a winding connected in series with a separate dc power source.

Answer 1

C) a winding connected in series with the armature.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a series motor, an electromagnet is used as a stator to generate its magnetic field. The field coil of this stator are connected through a commutator in series with the rotor windings. This stator which is the armature windings will conduct AC even on a DC machine, due to the periodically reverses current direction (commutation) or due to electronic commutation (as in brushless DC motors).
