A 6 pole lap connected DC generator with ___

A 6 pole lap connected DC generator with 480 conductors has armature resistance of 0.06 Ω.

If the conductors are reconnected to from a wave winding other things remaining unchanged, the value of armature resistance will be

A. 0.01 Ω.
B. 0.06 Ω.
C. 0.54 Ω.
D. 0.54 Ω.

Answer: D

Share your understanding of this question with the correct explanation.

If the conductors of a lap connected DC generator are reconnected to form a wave winding, the armature resistance remains unchanged. Therefore, the value of the armature resistance will still be 0.06 Ω.

So, the correct answer is B. 0.06 Ω.
