The geometric neutral axis of a dc machine lies

  • A.at the point of greatest flux density in the gap
  • B.midway between adjacent main poles
  • C.along the axis of each main pole in turn
  • D.wherever the brushes happen to be placed

Answer: B

Correct answer: midway between adjacent main poles

The geometric neutral axis is fixed by the physical arrangement of the poles and does not move. The magnetic neutral axis coincides with it only at no load; under load armature reaction shifts the magnetic axis away, and the difference between the two is the whole commutation problem.
