The direction of rotation of D.C series motor can be changed by

Right Answer is:

Interchanging field terminal

SOLUTION

  • If field winding is reversed then the current flowing through the field winding reverses so the effective flux will be reversed. we know that Torque is proportional to flux.
  • As there is a reversal of flux i.e. from positive it becomes negative so torque generated also becomes negative resulting motor rotating in the reverse direction.
  • Note: To reverse the motor, you need to change the polarity of the supply voltage to either the field winding or the armature winding, but not both.
