A D.C. series motor is that which

A. Has its field winding consisting of thick wire and less turns

B. Has a poor torque

C. Can be started easily without load

D. Has almost constant speed

Answer: Option C

Solution:

A DC series motor is characterized by having its field windings and armature windings
connected in series with each other. This configuration leads to specific characteristics:
1. High starting torque: DC series motors have a very high starting torque, making them
suitable for applications where high initial torque is required, such as in electric
locomotives and cranes.

2. Variable speed: The speed of a DC series motor decreases as the load increases
due to the inherent characteristics of its torque-speed curve.

3. Easy starting without load: DC series motors can start easily without a load because
they can run at very high speeds when unloaded, which can be advantageous in certain
applications.

Option A: Has its field winding consisting of thick wire and less turns is incorrect
because DC series motors typically have field windings with fewer turns of thick wire to
achieve high current and therefore high torque.

Option B: Has a poor torque is incorrect because DC series motors are known for their
high starting torque, not poor torque.

Option D: Has almost constant speed is incorrect because DC series motors do not
have a constant speed; their speed varies significantly with load.

Therefore, the correct answer is Can be started easily without load.

For which of the following applications a D.C. motor is preferred over an A.C. motor?

A. Low speed operation

B. High speed operation

C. Variable speed operation

D. Fixed speed operation
