Briefly describe what causes the armature to act as a generator in the process of dynamic braking.

What will be an ideal response?


As the armature is disconnected from the power source, a dynamic braking resistor is connected across the armature. The armature is still spinning and the shunt field is still energized, so the armature acts as a generator.
