A motor has an armature resistance $4 \Omega$. It is operating on 220 V. At its full speed, it develops a back emf of 200 V. The current in the armature when the motor is switched on will be: |
5 A 105 A 50 A 55 A |
55 A |
The correct answer is Option (4) → 55 A The calculate the current in the momentum when the motor is switched on, $I=\frac{V-E_b}{R_α}$ where, $V$ (Applied voltage) = 220 V $E_b$ (Back emf) = 200 V $R_α$ (Armature Resistance) = 4 Ω $∴I=\frac{220-200}{4}=5A$ |
