Question 523Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passAs load is added to a DC shunt motor, how will the motor respond?
Astop
Bspeed up
Cmaintain the same speed
Dslow down slightly
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) slow down slightly. As load is added to a DC shunt motor, the motor will slow down slightly. This is because in a DC shunt motor, the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature winding. As the load increases, the armature current increases, causing a drop in the terminal voltage. This voltage drop leads to a decrease in the speed of the motor to maintain constant flux. The motor will not stop (A) or speed up (B), and it will not maintain the same speed (C) as the load increases.
