🔍 Key Concepts

• Compound-wound DC generator parts: series field, shunt field, armature • What a shunt does in a circuit (provides an alternate path for current) • Specific name for a variable resistor placed in parallel with a field winding to control its current

💭 Think About

• Focus on which term is commonly used in DC machine theory for a variable resistance placed across a field coil to adjust its strength. • Ask yourself: does the name suggest that current is being diverted around the series field, or simply divided/converted in some other way? • Think about which term you’ve seen in diagrams of compound generators showing a small adjustable resistance across the series field.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option is the standard textbook term for a variable shunt across the series field of a DC generator. • Eliminate any terms that are general electrical components but not specifically tied to field current control in DC machines. • Confirm that the chosen term implies providing an alternate path for current around the series field winding.
