41. For a given torque, reducing the diverter-resistance of a d.c. series motor
- increases its speed but armature current remains the same
- increases its speed demanding more armature current
- decreases its speed demanding less armature current
- decreases its speed but armature current remains the same
42. A d.c. series motor is accidentally connected to single-phase a.c. Supply. The torque produced will be
- of zero average value
- oscillating
- steady and unidirectional
- pulsating and unidirectional
43. The current drawn by a 220 V dc motor of armature resistance 0.5 Ω and back emf 200 V is
- 44 A
- 40 A
