How can the direction of rotation of a DC shunt motor be reversed?
Question

How can the direction of rotation of a DC shunt motor be reversed?

A.

By changing shunt field terminals

B.

By changing armature field terminals

C.

By changing DC source terminals

D.

By changing the switch position

E.

Either by changing shunt or armature field terminals

Correct option is E

Reversing the direction of rotation in a DC shunt motor is achieved by changing the polarity of either the field winding or the armature winding, but not both. Reversing the polarity of one winding flips the direction of its magnetic field, which interacts with the current in the other winding, resulting in a change of torque and direction of rotation.
