The speed of a DC series motor is ___________(a) Proportional to field current(b) Proportional to the square of the armature current(c) Proportional to the armature current(d) Inversely proportional to the armature currentThe question was posed to me in an international level competition.My question is based upon Operating Characteristics of DC Series Motor -1 in portion Characteristics of DC Motors of DC Machines

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (d) Inversely proportional to the armature current

To elaborate: Speed of DC series motor is inversely proportional to the armature current because, as armature current INCREASES the flux produced also increases due to the series combination. Similarly if armature current is REDUCED flux is reduced which will INCREASE speed.
