because there is ahigh current flowing through it at the start...
First remember this rheostat is connected in series with the armature to increase the total resistance to limit the starting current, thus achieving max starting torque from the motor
The value of resistance of shunt field winding beyond which the shunt generator fails to build up its voltage is known as " critical resistance at a given speed it is the maximum field resistance with which the shunt generator excite.
A shunt DC motor connects the armature and field windings in parallel or shunt with a common D.C. power source. This type of motor has good speed regulation even as the load varies, but does not have the starting torque of a series DC motor
For a shunt dc motor the rheostat would vary from zero ohms to a value that produces the required minimum field current, but rheostats are not common with shunt motors except as a crude way of controlling the speed. Series dc motors normally use rheostats for starting, especially in trams etc. because the starting torque and current is very high. The rheostat resistance starts at a value equal to the supply voltage divided by the maximum allowable current drawn, and is reduced as the speed builds up.
yes

A motor with large windings will have greater shunt resistance than armature resistance due to the sheer amount of copper wire it must travel through. The gauge of the wire also plays a part in this process.

Shunt means parallel only..................
If the starting torque required is too high for a shunt motor, it could lead to stalling or jerky operation at startup. This can cause overheating and damage to the motor windings due to increased current draw. It is important to match the motor's torque capabilities with the load requirements to prevent these issues.
the shunt generator wont be started .hehe
A DC shunt motor is a motor using DC supply with the the inductor connected parallel to the armature.
Its performance becomes worse. The speed will drop more when a mechanical load is put on the shaft.
By attaching a resistance in parallel connection with the galvanometer. Or when a low resistor connected in parallel with galvanometer ,the galvanometer is converted in ammeter. and the resistor is called shunt resistance.
