D)none

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During rheostat braking of D.C. series motors, the motor is run as a generator. This process involves disconnecting the motor from its power supply and connecting it to a variable resistor (rheostat). The kinetic energy of the motor (and the connected load) is then converted into electrical energy, which is dissipated as heat in the rheostat, effectively slowing down the motor.
