If I2 be the armature current, then speed of a D.C. shunt motor is_______________?

Correct answer: A. independent of Ia

  • A. independent of Ia
  • B. proportional to la
  • C. varies as (Ia)
  • D. varies as la

Explanation

In a shunt motor, the field flux is nearly constant, so speed is approximately independent of armature current. Armature-current changes mainly produce a small speed drop due to armature resistance.
