  1. sir!in the third question function of commutator in DC machine...your anwer is correct in case of DC GENERATOR but in case of DC MOTOR as the DC supply is to be converted in AC the function of commutator in DC MACHINE in case of dc motor is to convert DC TO AC...

  2. Q.The armature torque of the dc shunt motor is proportional to

    a) armature current only
    b) field flux only
    c) armature current and flux both

    Ans. c


    In the above question, answer is armature current only. why because, in shunt machine flux constant at all loads, so torque is directly proportional to armature current only.

  3. If a dc motor is connected across an ac supply , the dc motor will

    a) burn as the eddy currents in the field produce heat
    b) run at its normal speed
    c) run at a lower speed

    ans of ds question may b c..cos when dc motor terminal connected across ac supply it runs at lower speed

  5. Nice information on here, I would like to share with you all my experience trying to get a loan to expand my Clothing Business here in Malaysia. It was really hard on my business going down due to my little short time illness then when I got heal I needed a fund to set it up again for me to begin so I came across Mr Benjamin a loan consultant officer at Le_Meridian Funding Service He asked me of my business project and I told him i already owned One and i just needed loan of 200,000.00 USD he gave me form to fill and I did also he asked me of my Valid ID in few days They did the transfer and my loan was granted. I really want to appreciate there effort also try to get this to anyone looking for business loan or other financial issues to Contact Le_Meridian Funding Service On Email: lfdsloans@lemeridianfds.com / lfdsloans@outlook.com He also available on WhatsApp Contact:+1-9893943740.
