Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A DC motor is powered by a 120 V supply, with an armature resistance of 2 Ω. When operating at steady state, it draws a current of 10 A. Calculate the back EMF, and explain its significance.

💡 Hint: Apply the back EMF formula and consider its operational significance in motors.

Question 2

If a motor runs at a speed of 3000 RPM with a field current setting the flux at 1 Wb, what will happen to the speed if the field current is reduced by 25%? Assume linear behavior.

💡 Hint: Use the proportional nature of speed and flux to derive the new speed.
