Some motors are constructed so that they will operate on either of two voltages. When they are connected to operate on the higher of the two voltages, the windings are connected in _____.

A) series
B) parallel

Windings

Coils of wire that are used to create magnetic fields when electric current passes through them, found in generators, motors, and transformers.

Voltages

The potential difference in charge between two points in an electrical field, measured in volts.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
When motors are connected to operate on the higher of the two voltages, the windings are connected in series. This configuration increases the total resistance in the circuit, allowing the motor to handle the higher voltage by distributing it across the windings.
