Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A DC shunt motor runs at 1500 RPM drawing 5 A from a 240 V supply with an armature resistance of 0.5 Ohm. Calculate the back EMF generated and the torque produced if the flux per pole is 0.02 Wb.

💡 Hint: Break the problem down into the back EMF and then use the torque formula step by step.

Question 2

Discuss the implications of reducing the field current in a shunt motor and how it affects speed and torque.

💡 Hint: Consider the balance between torque and speed when adjusting motor parameters.
