100. The torque of a DC motor can be increased by
    

A.

increasing the number of coils of wire in the armature

increasing the number of coils of wire in the armature, increases the strength of the magnetic field.   This increases the torque.

The Correct Answer is A.

    

B.

decreasing the potential difference

V = IR   This decreases the current and the magnetic field.  This decreases the torque.

    

C.

increasing distance between armature and field poles

The force between the armature and the field poles decreases as the distance is increased.  This decreases the torque.

     
D.

decreasing the strength of the field poles

The force between the armature and the field poles decreases as the field pole strengths are decreased.  This decreases the torque.
