The diagram shows a 200V short shunt compound generator. What is the voltage across the series field resistance?

Diagram for question: The diagram shows a 200V short shunt compound generator. What is the voltage across the series field
  • 10V
  • 6V
  • 30V

Explanation from PART66Online

In a short shunt compound generator the shunt field is connected across the armature only, and the series field is in series with the load. In the diagram the 100 ohm resistor is the shunt field, the 0.04 ohm resistor in the armature branch is the armature resistance, and the 0.06 ohm resistor in the line to the load is the series field. The series field therefore carries the full 100 A load current, so V = I x R = 100 x 0.06 = 6 V. The 10 V option adds the armature resistance as well (100 x 0.1).

The voltage U=I*R, the current through the parallel resistor on the right is 100A so the same through 0.06ohm resistor because they are series. Then U=100*0.06= 6V
