What is the difference between a field winding and an armature winding in any machine?
ShaunMarshgp7659
simply saying u that field winding is a winding present at the stator of the motor and is used to produce the magnetic field and the armature winding is the winding present in the rotor and is used to rotate the shaft of the motor. there are some machines with permanent magnets, those permanent magnets are used as the major source of magnetic flux in the machine instead of the field winding .

∙ 8y agoWindings can be classified in two groups: armature windings and field windings. The armature winding is the main current-carrying winding in which the electromotive force (emf) or counter-emf of rotation is induced. The current in the armature winding is known as the armature current. The field winding produces the magnetic field in the machine. The current in the field winding is known as the field or exciting current. See Electric rotating machinery, Generator, Motor
The location of the winding depends upon the type of machine. The armature windings of dc motors and generators are located on the rotor, since they must operate in conjunction with the commutator, and the field windings are mounted on stator field poles. See Direct-current generator, Direct-current motor
Alternating-current synchronous motors and generators are normally constructed with the armature winding on the stator and the field winding on the rotor. There is no clear distinction between the armature and field windings of ac induction motors or generators. One winding may carry the main current of the machine and also establish the magnetic field. It is customary to use the terms stator winding and rotor winding to identify induction motor windings. The word armature, when used with induction motors, applies to the winding connected to the power source (usually the stator).

What is the function of field winding in DC generator?
The motor needs the current and magnetic flux to create motion The magnetic field is created by field winding where as armature carries the current resulting into the rotation of armature
What is armature reaction in dc motor?
Armature reaction is effect of armature flux on main field flux. Basically there are two windings in a dc motor - Armature winding (on stator) and field winding (on rotor). When we excite the field winding, it produces a flux which links with the armature. This causes an emf and hence a current in the armature. This current in armature produces another flux which lags the main flux. This is referred to as armature reaction. It has two effects on the machine: 1. Demagnetising effect: It reduces the strength of the main flux. 2. Crossmagnetising effect: Its effect is that it bends/distortes the the main flux line along the conductor
What is interpole winding in DC machine?
For a D.C motor it is the field windings which must always be in series with the armature windings.
What is shunt current and a armature current?
The terms 'shunt' and 'armature' apply to a particular type of d.c. motor, in which the field windings are connected in parallel with the armature windings. 'Shunt' is an archaic term for 'parallel', so the term 'shunt', in this context, means that the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature winding. The terms 'shunt current' and 'armature current', then describe the currents flowing in the shunt winding and armature winding, respectively.
What is the difference between a seperately excited DC generator and DC shunt generator?
The difference between a separately excited DC generator and a Shunt DC generator is that for a separately excited Dc generator , the excitation field winding is supplied by an external source different from that supplying the armature while for shunt generator, the excitation field windind is connected in series with the armature and supplied by a single source.
Why armature winding resistance is less than field winding resistance?
An 'armature winding' is the rotor winding, and the 'field winding' is the stator winding.
What is the function of field winding in DC generator?
The motor needs the current and magnetic flux to create motion The magnetic field is created by field winding where as armature carries the current resulting into the rotation of armature
What is the function of armature winding of a motor?
Armature is a rotating part of the machine, the coil which wound in the core of that rotating part.

What is the use of interpoles in dc machine?
Interpoles are similar to the main field poles and located on the yoke between the main field poles. They have windings in series with the armature winding. Interpoles have the function of reducing the armature reaction effect in the commutating zone. They eliminate the need to shift the brush assembly.

'Shunt' is an archaic term for 'parallel', so the term 'shunt', in this context, means that the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature winding.

Why are the compensating winding used in dc motor?
compensating winding is used for equal load sharing of two generators running in parallel. while interpole winding is used to minimise the effect of armature reaction by supporting the main field.
What happens if load of DC series motor is disconnected?
In D.C Shunt motor, the field winding is connected parallel with the armature winding.. If you remove the supply to armature winding, the motor will stop after some time.
What are field windings and armature windings in a dc motor and generator?
generators have two types of winding , * at armature also called armature winding( winding around shaft , we can say), which is the moving part. note that armature also consists of magnets along with windings. hence produces field arount it. * and at stator also called field winding, because when armature rotates its flux(field) is cutted by the stator windings and produces mutually induced e.m.f in it( in stator windings off course) causing current to flow. this current also produces some electric field around it which is in return cutted by the armature windings hince a little amount of e.m.f ( also called back e.m.f) produced in armature due to stator winding current. know this current in armature (due to back e.m.f produced by stator winding) produces additional field , hence causing more current in stator winding. this is the reason that why stator windings are called field winding( as they cause electric field of armature stronger and cause more current in output). note that out put is taken from the stator windings in generators.
What is the difference between a seperately excited DC generator and DC shunt generator?
The difference between a separately excited DC generator and a Shunt DC generator is that for a separately excited Dc generator , the excitation field winding is supplied by an external source different from that supplying the armature while for shunt generator, the excitation field windind is connected in series with the armature and supplied by a single source.
