Question 1

What is back EMF in a DC motor?

  • The voltage that assists armature current
  • The voltage that opposes the applied voltage
  • The voltage produced by the stator

💡 Hint: Think about what happens when an armature moves in a magnetic field.

Question 2

True or False: Torque is directly proportional to back EMF.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember how torque develops in relation to current.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A DC motor with an armature current of 10 A and magnetic flux of 0.1 Wb produces a torque of 2 Nm. Calculate the constant (k_a) and explain its significance.

💡 Hint: Relate your answer back to the production of torque in practical applications.

Question 2

Given a motor starts with zero speed and back EMF is initially 0, explore how the armature current changes as speed increases to a rated value. Discuss operational efficiency.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the implications for power factor and energy consumption.
