In armature characteristic, nature of If at lower values of armature current is ______(a) Very large(b) Almost constant(c) Decreasing rapidly(d) Increasing then decreasingThis question was posed to me in a job interview.The doubt is from External and Armature Characteristics of DC Generator in division DC Generator of DC Machines

Answer»

The CORRECT option is (b) Almost constant

The explanation: It is seen from the CHARACTERISTIC that at low values of Ia, the INCREASE in If is very SMALL to provide for increasing Ia *Ra drop. At large values of Ia there is a sharp increase in If to compensate for voltage drop caused by ARMATURE reaction.
