In a D.C. generator the critical resistance refers to the resistance of_____________?
Correct answer: B. field
- A. brushes
- B. field
- C. armature
- D. load
Explanation
Critical resistance is the maximum field-circuit resistance at which a shunt generator can just build up its voltage. It is therefore associated with the field winding, not the armature or load.
