The demagnetising component of armature reaction in a D.C. generator___________?

Correct answer: A. reduces generator e.m.f.

  • A. reduces generator e.m.f.
  • B. increases armature speed
  • C. reduces interpoles flux density
  • D. results in sparking trouble

Explanation

The demagnetizing component of armature reaction weakens the main field flux, so the generated emf decreases according to E ∝ ΦN. Sparking is more directly associated with poor commutation, although weakened flux can aggravate machine performance.
