Armature reaction in dc motor results___________?
Correct answer: B. increase in speed
- A. decrease in speed
- B. increase in speed
- C. short circuit
- D. open circuit
Explanation
Armature reaction weakens and distorts the main flux in a DC motor. For a given back EMF requirement, the weakened flux causes the motor speed to rise, making increase in speed the intended result.
