The voltage induced in the series winding depends on what aspect of the shunt winding?

The voltage induced in the series winding is influenced by the position of the shunt winding because of how magnetic fields interact within electrical machinery. In a generator or motor setup, the shunt winding generates a magnetic field that is dependent on its position relative to the armature and series winding. This positioning determines the effectiveness of the field lines in linking to the series winding.

When the shunt winding is properly positioned, the magnetic field it creates effectively contributes to inducing voltage in the series winding. If the position changes, the linkage of magnetic flux between the shunt and series windings may also change, affecting the voltage induced. In essence, the relative arrangement of these windings is crucial for efficient energy transfer and voltage generation.

Other factors, such as current, power, and resistance, while important to system operation, do not directly correlate in the same way as position with respect to the induced voltage phenomenon in the series winding.
