The DC motor that can provide zero speed regulation at full load without any controller is

series
shunt
cumulative compound
differential compound

Correct answer: series

Solution

A DC series motor has a very large change in speed with load, and under suitable conditions it can exhibit zero speed regulation at full load without external control. This is the standard answer expected in such exam questions.

The following arrangement consists of an ideal transformer and an attenuator that attenuates by a factor of 0.8. An AC voltage $V_{WX}=100$ V is applied across $WX$ to get an open-circuit voltage $V_{YZ}$ across $YZ$. Next, an AC voltage $V_{YZ}=100$ V is applied across $YZ$ to get an open-circuit voltage $V_{WX}$ across $WX$. Then, $V_{YZ}/V_{WX}$ and $V'_{WX}/V'_{YZ}$ are respectively.
