In the consequent pole motor, if the number of poles is doubled, the motor speed will be _____.

A) stay the same
B) cut in half
C) double
D) go to zero

Consequent Pole Motor

A type of electric motor that achieves higher torque by varying the relationships between magnetic poles.

Motor Speed

The rate at which an electric motor rotates, usually measured in rotations per minute (RPM).

Poles

In electrical engineering, refers to the individual magnetic poles (north and south) of a magnet, or the points in a motor or generator where magnetic lines of force enter and exit.

  • Understand the effect of pole number alteration on motor speed.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
In a consequent pole motor, doubling the number of poles results in halving the motor speed because speed is inversely proportional to the number of poles in an AC motor.
