Copper brushes in D.C. machine are used_____________?

Correct answer: A. where low voltage and high currents are involved

  • A. where low voltage and high currents are involved
  • B. where high voltage and small cur-rents are involved
  • C. in both of the above cases
  • D. in none of the above cases

Explanation

Copper brushes have low contact resistance and are therefore suitable for low-voltage, high-current operation. Carbon brushes are generally preferred for higher-voltage machines because they improve commutation and limit current density.
