The regulation is more nearly auto-matic in the compound-wound this form the fields contain both seriesand shunt coils. The field-magnets, of course, lose their strength when thecurrent ceases to flow, but the cores contain sufficient residual magnetism to cause the ma-chine to develop sufficientcurrent to pick up on thestart. 531. The Electric Motor. The purpose of the electricmotor is to transform theenergy of the electric currentinto mechanical motion. Itsconstr
