When the field winding of a DC motor is connected in parallel with the armature, the motor is called a _____ motor.

A) series
B) shunt

Field Winding

The winding of a coil around an electromagnet's core, which creates a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it.

Armature

The rotating part of an electric generator or motor that interacts with the magnetic field to produce electrical power or mechanical torque.

DC Motor

An electric motor that runs on direct current (DC) electricity, converting DC electrical energy into mechanical energy.

  • Detect and expound on the different models of DC motors and their respective components.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
When the field winding of a DC motor is connected in parallel with the armature, the motor is referred to as a shunt motor. This configuration allows for a constant magnetic field in the motor, leading to a relatively constant speed under varying loads.
