Question

If the connection of a field winding of a DC shunt motor is changed, then the motor-

A.

Speed of the motor will reduce

B.

Will not run

C.

Will run in the same direction

D.

Will run in the opposite direction

Correct option is D


In a DC shunt motor, if the connection of the field winding is reversed, the direction of the magnetic field will change.
Since the direction of rotation of a DC motor is determined by both the direction of the armature current and the magnetic field, reversing the field winding will result in the motor running in the opposite direction.
Thus, changing the connection of the field winding changes the polarity of the magnetic field, causing the motor to reverse its rotation.
