Why do you use slotted armatures in dc machines?

Those slots, or areas where metal was removed serve to balance the motor's armature. This is similar to the concept of "balancing" a wheel on a car.Metal material is 'shaved' or notched ( removed) from the side of the armature which is too heavy, ( and causes a ' wobble' as the RPM's are increased.)However, On a car, wheel weights are added to the OPPOSITE side of the wheel's heaviest spot of imbalance, until the wheel can be spun at a high speed, with no wobble.AnswerThe slots carry the armature conductors, while minimising the air gap between the rotor and and the stator (to minimise the reluctance of the magnetic circuit)!They have nothing to do with 'balancing' the armature.


What is separately excited DC motor?

The main difference between the Separately excited motor and the shunt motor is the field cct where as in the second it has its own voltage supply.AnswerI think you mean 'generator', not 'motor'. A 'self-excited' motor is one in which the output supplies the field current, as well as the load current. A 'separately-excited' motor is one in which the field current is provided from an external source.


Explain electronic circuit to break the electicity in case of short circuit?

A fuse or a circuit breaker can be added directly after the power source (and possibly a transformer) to do this.


Is resistance in a series circuit equal to the largest resistor in the series?

No. The resistance in a series circuit is all the resistor values added together. eg. If two resistors were in a circuit, one was 10 ohms and the other was 30 ohms, the resistance in the circuit would be 30 ohms. Hope this helps!


What is a driver transistor?

dirver transistor is added in a circuit so as to provide required voltage at an operating current which can not be provided by the microcontroller

How is resistance added in a series circuit?

Resistance in a series circuit is added by simply connecting resistors end-to-end. This results in the total resistance being the sum of the individual resistances. The current passing through each resistor in a series circuit remains the same.


What is the rule for the total resistors when resistors are added up in series?

You add the resistances together to get the total resistance in a series circuit. Say... R1=10 R2=12 R3=10 R123=32


When more light bulbs are added in parallel to a circuit what happens to the total resistance of the circuit?

When more light bulbs are added in parallel to a circuit, the total resistance of the circuit decreases. This is because in a parallel circuit, the reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances. More paths for current to flow mean less overall resistance in the circuit.


How does the area of series resistors affect the overall resistance in a circuit?

The total resistance in a circuit with series resistors is the sum of the individual resistances. When more resistors are added in series, the total resistance increases because the current has to pass through each resistor, making it harder for the current to flow.


How does a series circuit work with an ammeter?

Actually ammeter is a galvanometer which is shunted by a resistance called shunt. For large currents major part of it is bypassed through the shunt. The parallel combination of shunt resistance and meter resistance is added to the circuit resistances , so the value indicated by the ammeter is slightly lesser than the actually value.


What is mean by armature reaction?

armature reaction means when load is added to the armature then current is passed through armature conductors then in armature creates flux. It is demagnetize and cross magnetize the main field flux. in other ward it is effect of armature field on main field.

If you have a DC passing through a circuit will the current decrease when you add a DC motor and if so by how much?

In the circuit where the DC motor is added, it was not specified whether the motor was added in series or in parallel to circuit elements. If it was added in series, it will increase circuit resistance and it will cause circuit current to go down. In parallel, the motor will reduce total circuit resistance, and circuit current will increase.


If a new bulb is added and the electrical circuit becomes dimmer is it a parallel circuit?

No it's series circuit.


What would happen if another bulb was added to another series circuit?

In a series circuit, if another bulb is added, it is going to dim.
