🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between voltage, current, and number of turns in field windings • Difference between shunt-wound and series-wound DC motor field windings • How wire size (fine vs heavy) affects current-carrying capacity and resistance

💭 Think About

• For a shunt field, is the field winding connected across the full supply voltage or in series with the armature? How does that affect the needed resistance of the field winding? • If you want higher resistance in the field circuit at normal voltage but relatively low current, would you use many turns or few turns? Fine wire or heavy wire? • Think about which combination (many/few turns, fine/heavy wire) would create a winding with high resistance and moderate field current suitable for shunt connection.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that in a shunt-wound motor, the field is connected in parallel with the armature (across the supply). • Check which option would result in a high-resistance field winding (needed to limit field current at full line voltage). • Verify which wire description (fine vs heavy) is normally used where current is relatively low but voltage is applied continuously.
