The self-regulating action of a dc motor works because a fall in speed

  • A.reduces the flux and therefore the torque developed
  • B.has no effect on the current the machine draws
  • C.reduces the back emf and admits more current
  • D.increases the back emf and reduces the current drawn

Answer: C

Correct answer: reduces the back emf and admits more current

Load the machine and it slows a little; the back emf falls with the speed, the difference \( V - E \) grows, and more current flows through the armature resistance. More current means more torque, which is exactly what the added load demanded, and the machine settles at a slightly lower speed. No controller is involved - the regulation is inherent in the equations, and it is why a shunt motor holds its speed so well.
