The magnetic neutral axis of a loaded dc machine is where

  • A.the armature ampere-turns per pole are at their greatest
  • B.the commutator segments are widest apart
  • C.the resultant flux density in the air gap is zero
  • D.the flux density in the air gap reaches its greatest value

Answer: C

Correct answer: the resultant flux density in the air gap is zero

A coil crossing this axis has no emf induced by the main field, which is where its current can be reversed most easily. Under load the axis shifts - forward in a generator, backward in a motor - so the brushes, which are fixed, are no longer at the right place unless something restores it.
