Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A DC motor has a stator made of permanent magnets and a rotor with 200 turns of wire. If the supplied current doubles, discuss the effects on torque and speed of the motor.

💡 Hint: Consider how torque relates to the interaction between magnetic fields in the rotor.

Question 2

Given a DC motor where the brushes have worn down and are not making proper contact, analyze how this will affect the motor's efficiency and possible failure modes.

💡 Hint: Think about what happens when electricity cannot flow properly.
