Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A DC motor uses a coil with 100 turns, drawing 2A when powered. If you double the turns and the current remains the same, how does this affect the torque produced?

💡 Hint: Consider how more turns affect the interaction with the magnetic field.

Question 2

Given a scenario where a DC motor operates but stops turning after commutation, describe the likely issue and its solution.

💡 Hint: Think about what might obstruct the flow of current.
