When two D.C. series motors are connected in parallel, the resultant speed is

A. More than the normal speed

B. Loss than the normal speed

C. Normal speed

D. Zero

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

When two DC series motor are connected in parallel then the resultant speed is more than the normal speed. If the voltage across each motor is V and current through each motor in parallel connection is $$\frac{I}{2}.$$ So
$${\text{speed}} \propto \frac{{{\text{voltage}}}}{{{\text{current}}}} \propto \left( {\frac{{\text{V}}}{{\frac{{{I_{\text{a}}}}}{2}}}} \right) \Rightarrow 2\left( {\frac{{\text{V}}}{{{I_{_{\text{a}}}}}}} \right)$$

Hence the resultant speed is more than normal speed.

    Any ckt connected in parallel than current is increased (voltage constant)
    Current proportional fie esliye fie increased and speed decreased

    When two motors connect in parallel the current taken by them remain the same as the single one....because the resultant resistance will also be half.....

    Your answer is wrong. when two dc series motor is connected in series the current I is flowing through two dc series motor.These two dc series motor shares the supply voltage(V/2) Where V is the supply voltage.When these two dc series motor connected in parallel the current through each dc series motor is reduced I/2. flux is directly proportional to (I/2) and flux is inversely proportional to speed.So speed increases to 4 times of the normal speed.
    The correct answer is A.more than normal speed
