Default Motor question

I think that is a very poor assumption. There are series-wound motors
and they're very different animals, in that the high armature current
also flows through the field. In a shunt-wound motor a much smaller
current flows through the field. In a shunt wound the field current is
independent of the load and the armature current varies with load.

If you try it, be sure to get a video for us 😊
