Q.

An electric train employing a dc series motor is running at a fixed speed, when a sudden slight drop in the mains voltage occurs. This would result in 

  • ADrop in speed and rise in current 
  • BRise in speed and drop in current
  • CRise in speed and rise in current
  • DDrop in speed with current unaltered 
Correct Answer : (A)

Drop in speed and rise in current 

Hints :
Previous

A dc shunt motor is driving a constant torque load with normal excitation. If the filed current is halved then the motor will run at 

Next

A dc shunt motor is driving a mechanical load at rated voltage with normal excitation. If the load torque is increased to double of the normal one, the speed of the motor will
