In a series motor, the polarity of the field winding is typically reversed to control the direction of rotation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a series motor, the direction of rotation is typically reversed by reversing the current flow through either the armature or the field winding, not by reversing the polarity of the field winding alone. Both the armature and field windings are in series, so reversing current flow through one reverses the motor direction.
