In D.C. shunt motors as load is reduced__________________?
Correct answer: C. the speed will remain almost/constant
- A. the speed will increase abruptly
- B. the speed will increase in proportion to reduction in load
- C. the speed will remain almost/constant
- D. the speed will reduce
Explanation
A shunt motor has nearly constant field flux, and its speed automatically changes only slightly as load varies. Therefore, reducing the load leaves the speed approximately constant rather than causing a large increase.
