As -the load is increased the speed of D.C. shunt motor will____________?

Correct answer: A. reduce slightly

  • A. reduce slightly
  • B. increase slightly

  • D. remains unchanged

Explanation

Increasing load increases armature current and the voltage drop in the armature circuit, slightly reducing back e.m.f. and speed. A shunt motor therefore has only a small speed decrease with load.
