| A low voltage source is applied to the collector rings of a salient-pole alternator to test for shorted coils. As the voltage drop across each coil is recorded, what would be the indication of a short-circuited coil? |
| A) high voltage reading, while the other coil readings will have an equal or lower value |
| B) low or zero voltage reading, while the other coils will have higher readings |
| C) fluctuating voltmeter reading, while the other coil readings are steady |
| D) steady voltmeter reading, while the other coil readings are fluctuating |
