In a generator, the _____ permits part of the current that normally flows through the series field to flow through the resistor.

A) series field shunt rheostat
B) shunt field series rheostat
C) series field exciter
D) shunt field exciter

Series Field

A type of field winding in a DC generator that is connected in series with the armature, influencing the generator's output.

Shunt Rheostat

A variable resistor connected in parallel with a circuit element to adjust the flow of current through it, allowing for the control of electrical device performance.

Series Rheostat

An adjustable resistor used in series with a circuit to control the current flow by varying its resistance.
