CHAPTER 15 ANSWERS

D-C MOTORS



1. Not at all. Essentially the two are alike in construction.


2. Magnetic fields.


3. The force set up by the two fields which tends to make the generator run as a motor.
    This is a Lenz's law illustration.


4. The induced voltage which opposes the applied voltage. Another Lenz's law illustration.


5. Counter-emf controls the current by opposing the current's flow.


6. Counter-emf decreases.


7. Current will increase.


8. A starter decreases current to the armature by putting a resistance in the armature circuit.


9. Reverse leads to either the field or armature. Not to both!


10. Reverse armature leads only.
