Under-commutation, or delayed commutation, causes sparking at

  • A.the leading edge of the brush
  • B.the centre of the brush contact face
  • C.both edges of the brush equally
  • D.the trailing edge of the brush

Answer: D

Correct answer: the trailing edge of the brush

When commutation is delayed, current is still flowing in the coil at the instant the segment leaves the brush, and the remaining energy in the coil’s inductance is released as an arc. It happens at the trailing edge because that is where contact is finally broken.
