In a lap winding, the number of parallel paths equals

  • A.the number of commutator segments of the machine
  • B.the number of poles
  • C.two
  • D.half the number of poles of the machine

Answer: B

Correct answer: the number of poles

In a lap winding each coil is connected back to the adjacent commutator segment, so the winding closes on itself after passing under one pair of poles and \( A = P \). Every pole therefore has its own parallel path. Since the current divides between as many paths as there are poles, each path carries only \( I_a/P \), which is why lap winding suits heavy-current machines.
