865. Counter EMF of the DC motor is-
Counter emf or back emf makes the DC motor a self- regulating machine. Le. It makes the DC motor to draw armature current which is just enough to develop the required torque. Thus it helps in energy conversion and it is always less than applied voltage.
Less than the applied voltage
More than the applied voltage
Equal to the applied voltage

871. In the DC machine, the fractional pitch winding is used-
They improve the waveform of generated EMF Le. generated EMF can be made to approximate to sine wave more easily and the distorting harmonics can be reduced or totally eliminated.
To reduce the harmonic in generated EMF
Improve cooling
Increase EMF
To reduce the copper losses
872. If the back EMF of DC motor vanishes then-
If back emf vanishes suddenly, motor circuit will try to retain emf by drawing more current from supply. If supplying unit didn't trip down by this time, excess current in armature may heat up the armature.
The motor continues to run
Motor will stop
Armature will burn
The motor continues to run in slow speed

878. What will happen if the 220 volts DC series motor is connected to 220 Volt AC supply?
The motor will not run
The armature winding of the motor will burn
The motor will run with less efficiency and more sparking
Either b & c
879. Which DC motor has the least percentage increase in input current for the same percentage increase in torque?
Separately excited motor
Series motor
Shunt motor
Compound motor
880. Why is the speed of DC shunt motor dependent on Back EMF?
The field winding is connected across the armature. The resistance offered by the field is constant so the current is constant. Therefore the speed of the DC shunt motor depends on the back EMF.
Because flux is proportional to the armature current
Because armature drop is negligible
Because Back EMF is equal to armature current
Because flux is constant in DC shunt motor
