Shunt field windings are connected in parallel with the armature. They are wound with _____ turns of fairly _____ wire.

A) many; large
B) few; large
C) many; small
D) few; small

Large Wire

Refers to an electrical conductor of a significantly large cross-sectional area, capable of carrying large currents with minimal resistance.

Many Turns

Refers to a coil or winding composed of a large number of turns of wire, enhancing its magnetic field or inductance.

Small Wire

Refers to electrical conductors of relatively small diameter, often used for low current applications or intricate electronic or electrical connections.

  • Identify the role and mechanism of armature and field windings in direct current machines.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Shunt field windings are designed to have many turns of small gauge wire to create a high resistance path, which allows for a relatively constant current to flow through the winding, regardless of the load on the motor. This design helps in regulating the motor's speed.
