An 8 pole DC generator has 500 armature conductors and useful flux per pole of 0.065 Wb. What will be the emf generated if it is lap connected and runs at 1000 rpm. What must be the speed at which it is driven to produce the same emf if it is wave wound?

 2166.67V, 230 rpm.
 541.67V, 250 rpm.
 2166.67V, 270 rpm.
 541.67V, 200 rpm.

A dc shunt generator, when driven without any excitation, showed an open circuit voltage of 12 V. When the field winding was excited, the voltage dropped to zero. It happened because

 there was no residual magnetism in the field circuit
 there was a break in the armature circuit
 field resistance was higher than critical resistance
 field winding was wrongly connected
