Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #271 (Set 10)

In a series wound motor, the current passing through the field windings also passes through what component?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — armature

In a series-wound DC motor, the armature and field windings are connected sequentially in a single path. Therefore, according to IEEE 45 principles, the total armature current flows directly through both the series field coils and the armature itself, generating strong starting torque.
