Assertion (A): A dc series motor must not be run uncoupled.

Reason (R): Its flux falls with the armature current.

Select the correct option.

  • A.A is true but R is false, the flux of such a machine being independent of current
  • B.A is false but R is true, an uncoupled series motor being perfectly safe
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A at all

Answer: C

At no load the current and hence the flux are very small, and the speed must rise enormously to generate the back emf. The reason is precisely the mechanism of the runaway, which is why such machines are geared or coupled rather than belted.
