In a DC shunt motor, speed is related to armature current as _____________(a) Directly proportional to the armature current(b) Proportional to the square of the current(c) Independent of armature current(d) Inversely proportional to the armature currentI got this question in an online interview.My question is taken from Operating Characteristics of DC Shunt Motor -1 topic in portion Characteristics of DC Motors of DC Machines

Answer»

Right option is (d) Inversely proportional to the armature current

Easiest explanation: When armature reaction is IGNORED in a DC shunt motor, flux almost remains CONSTANT but the speed of the motor decreases according to the INCREASE armature current, increasing IA*Ra drop. Hence, inverse proportionality.
