A 220 V D.C. generator is run at full speed without any excitation. The open circuit voltage will be_____________?

Correct answer: B. about 2 V

  • A. zero
  • B. about 2 V
  • C. about 50 V
  • D. 220 V

Explanation

With no field excitation, only residual magnetism produces voltage, so the open-circuit voltage is a small residual value rather than zero or rated voltage. A value of about 2 V is typical in this context.
