MACHINE
Machine is anything that reduces human
effort and anything that simplifies work or
saves time
A machine that converts electrical energy
to mechanical energy or mechanical
energy to electrical energy ; it is either
generator or a motor.
Principle of Dynamo:
Generating Action – it involves development of voltage
Motor Action – it involves the development of force or torque
1. DIRECT CURRENT
2. ALTERNATING CURRENT
1. CONVENTIONAL (+ to -)
2. ELECTRON FLOW ( - to +)
Electric motors are used for driving industrial machines, e.g., hammers, presses, drilling
machines, lathes, rollers in paper and steel industry, blowers for furnaces, etc., and
domestic appliances, e.g., refrigerators, fans, water pumps, toys, mixers, etc. The block

Given: Solution:
L=0.3m
F=? F = (sin θ ) BIL
B=0.5 T (N/A-m) = (sin90) (0.5 N/A.m) (2A)(0.3m)
I=2A F = 0.3 N
Given: Solution:
F=0.06 N F = (sin θ ) BIL
B=? T (N/A-m) 0.06N = (sin90) (B) (1.5A)(0.5m)
I=1.5A B = 0.8 T
L=5cm
General Formula: (DC or AC) Compute for Power: where: Eb – Back EMF
Z – No, of conductor
Eb = ZPΦN Pg = Eb Ia (Motor) Φ – Flux (wb)
60a’ = Eg Ia (Generator) N – rpm
Pa – Power Generated
Ia – Armature Current
Also, N ∝ Eb/Φ it shows that speed of motor is inversely proportional to magnetic field or flux.
When mechanical load applied on the motor increases, its speed decreases which reduces the
value of Eb. As a result the value (V – Eb) increases which consequently increases Ia. Hence,
motor draws extra current from the mains.
Thus, the back emf regulates the input power as per the extra load.
