Differences between a shunt field coil and a series field winding

1 answer

A shunt field coil is a coil of wire connected in parallel with the armature winding of a DC motor. It is used to create a magnetic field that is constant regardless of the load on the motor. A series field winding is a coil of wire connected in series with the armature winding of a DC motor. It is used to create a magnetic field that is proportional to the load on the motor.
