In dc machines, the field system has to be provided on stator unlike synchronous machines Where in it could be on any member, because

 dc machines are comparatively low rating machines.
 commutator action is not possible otherwise
 it gives more uniform air-gap flux distribution
 it reduces field structure iron losses

A dc shunt generator, when driven without any excitation, showed an open circuit voltage of 12 V. When the field winding was excited, the voltage dropped to zero. It happened because

 there was a break in the armature circuit
 field winding was wrongly connected
 field resistance was higher than critical resistance
 there was no residual magnetism in the field circuit
