🔍 Key Concepts

• DC motor construction – especially the commutator, brushes, and armature windings • Difference between a partial short circuit and a dead short circuit in electrical equipment • How dirt/grease between conductive segments affects current paths

💭 Think About

• Think about what the commutator segments are supposed to do individually. What happens if conductive material bridges two or more segments together? • Which options describe mechanical problems, and which describe electrical problems? Focus on what dirt and grease between segments would actually change. • Would dirt and grease more likely cause a complete loss of resistance (zero ohms) or just a reduced/alternate path for current?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices are electrical faults versus mechanical or speed-related effects. • Decide whether contamination between segments is more likely to create some unintended current paths or a solid, zero-resistance path. • Recall that the commutator segments are insulated from each other; consider what happens if that insulation is bridged by conductive contamination.
