Correct answer: A. has its field winding consisting of thick wire and less turns

  • A. has its field winding consisting of thick wire and less turns
  • B. has a poor torque
  • C. can be started easily without load
  • D. has almost constant speed

Explanation

The series field carries the full armature current and therefore uses thick wire with relatively few turns to keep its resistance low. A series motor also has high starting torque but must not be run without load.
