Question 303Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B) in parallel with the armature windings. In a DC shunt generator, the field windings are connected in parallel with the armature windings. This parallel connection allows the field windings to receive a constant current, which is essential for maintaining a steady magnetic field and generating a consistent output voltage, regardless of the load on the generator. The other options are incorrect because: A) the field windings are not connected in series with the series windings, C) the field windings are not connected in series with the armature windings, and D) the field windings are not connected in parallel with the field rheostat, which is used to control the field current and the generator's output voltage.
