🔍 Key Concepts

• Series vs shunt field connections in DC motors • How a compound wound DC motor combines both series and shunt fields • The current path from line terminals through armature and field windings in figure C

💭 Think About

• Trace the circuit in figure C: which winding is directly in series with the armature and line, and is there another field path in parallel with the line? • Compare figure C to figures A and B: which one shows only a shunt field, which one only a series field, and which one shows both types of field windings? • Ask yourself: does figure C show the line current passing through all the field turns, or does part of the field have a separate connection across the supply?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether there is a field winding in parallel with the line (shunt field) in figure C • Verify whether there is a field winding in series with the armature and line current in figure C • Confirm if figure C shows both series and shunt field windings together, which is the key identifying feature of one of the options
