🔍 Key Concepts

• DC motor field connections (series vs shunt) • Relationship between field winding and armature in different DC motors • How field connection affects speed and torque characteristics

💭 Think About

• Think about which motor type is designed to keep speed relatively constant even when the load changes. • Recall which motor has its field winding carrying the same current as the armature, and which one has its field winding connected across the supply voltage. • Eliminate any options that are NOT specifically classifications of DC motor field connections.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes a motor where the field winding is connected directly across the DC supply (i.e., in parallel with the armature). • Confirm which type of motor uses the same current for both field and armature — that one will NOT be the answer here. • Verify which terms (e.g., universal, salient pole) do NOT primarily describe the field/armature connection in a standard DC motor context.
