Question 1
Prove that the equation for the induced voltage of a single simple rotating loop
2
𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑑 = 𝜙𝜔
𝜋
is just a special case of the general equation for induced voltage in a dc machine 𝐸𝐴 = 𝐾𝜙𝜔
Question 2
The power converted from one form to another within a dc motor is given by
𝑃𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣 = 𝐸𝐴 𝐼𝐴 = 𝜏𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝜔
Use the equations 𝐸𝐴 = 𝐾𝜙𝜔 and 𝜏𝑖𝑛𝑑 = 𝐾𝜙𝐼𝐴 , to prove that 𝐸𝐴 𝐼𝐴 = 𝜏𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝜔 that is,
prove that the electric power disappearing at the point of power conversion is exactly equal to
the mechanical power appearing at that point.

Question 3
a) Draw and label the power flow diagram of
1) a DC motor
2) a DC generator

b) Sketch the equivalent circuit of

1) a series DC motor

2) shunt DC motor

Question 4
A separately excited motor runs at 1045rpm, with a constant field current, while taking an
armature current of 50A at 120V. The armature resistance is 0.1 Ω if the load on the motor
changes such that it now takes 95A at 120V, determine the motor speed at this load.
Question 5
A 50-hp, 250-V, 1200 r/min dc shunt motor with compensating windings has an armature
resistance (including the brushes, compensating windings and interpoles) of 0.06Ω. Its field
circuit has a total resistance 𝑅𝑎𝑑𝑗 + 𝑅𝑓 of 50Ω, which produces a no-load speed of 1200 r/min.
There are 1200 turns per pole on the shunt field winding. Find the speed and induced torque of
this motor when its input current is

1
a) 120 A
b) 310 A
Question 6
An eight-pole, 25-kW, 120-V DC generator has a simplex lap-wound armature, which has 64
coils with 16 turns per coil. Its rated speed is 2400 r/min.
(a) How much flux per pole is required to produce the rated voltage in this generator at no-load
conditions?
(b) What is the current per path in the armature of this generator at the rated load?
(c) What is the induced torque in this machine at the rated load?
d) If the resistance of this winding is 0.011 Ω per turn, what is the armature resistance 𝑅𝐴 of
this machine?
Question 7
A separately-excited d.c. generator produces an open-circuit voltage of 250 V with field current
of 1.5 A. If the field current is increased to 2 A, calculate
a) The new open-circuit emf.
b) The terminal voltage if the generator supplies a current of 5 A. Assume armature resistance
𝑅𝐴 = 0.8 ohm and the speed remains constant.
