Explanation: Adding the armature resistance drop we can obtain the external characteristic for a 
dc generator. 
9. Identify the machines by observing their external characteristics for (i) and (ii) respectively. 
(i)​ 
(ii)​ 
a) Separately excited dc generator, shunt generator 
b) Shunt generator, separately excited dc generator 
c) Differentially compound dc generator, separately excited 
d) Series dc generator, shunt generator

Answer: a 
Explanation: In dc shunt generator, voltage drops off much more rapidly with load due to fal in 
field current with terminal voltage.
