The e.m.f. induced in the armature of a shunt generator is 600 V. The armature resistance is 0.1 ohm. If the armature current is 200 A, the terminal voltage will be_____________?

Correct answer: D. 580 V

  • A. 640 V
  • B. 620 V
  • C. 600 V
  • D. 580 V

Explanation

For a generator, terminal voltage is approximately E minus the armature voltage drop: 600 − (200 × 0.1) = 580 V. The correct option is d.
