A dc shunt motor whose field circuit opens while it is running lightly loaded will

  • A.accelerate towards a destructive speed
  • B.come to rest immediately as its torque vanishes
  • C.continue at its previous speed with no change
  • D.reverse its direction of rotation

Answer: A

With the flux reduced to residual magnetism, the speed must rise enormously for the back emf to balance the supply, and a lightly loaded machine can reach a speed at which it flies apart. Field failure protection exists for exactly that case.
