The correct answer is: B. Small
Residual magnetism is the magnetism that remains in a ferromagnetic material after it has been subjected to a magnetic field. It is caused by the alignment of the magnetic domains in the material. When a DC generator is turned on, the residual magnetism causes a small current to flow in the armature windings. This current creates a magnetic field that opposes the residual magnetism. The result is that the induced EMF at zero speed is small.
Option A is incorrect because the induced EMF at zero speed is not zero.
Option C is incorrect because the induced EMF at zero speed is not the same as the rated voltage.
Option D is incorrect because the induced EMF at zero speed is not high.
