The speed of a universal motor is usually reduced by using____________?
Correct answer: A. gearing
- A. gearing
- B. belts
- C. brakes
- D. chains
Explanation
A universal motor runs at very high speed, so a gear train is commonly used to reduce speed and increase the available torque. Belts and chains are possible transmission elements but are not the usual direct answer here.
