A shunt motor with armature resistance $0.080 \Omega$ is connected to $120 \mathrm{~V}$ mains. With $50 \mathrm{~A}$ in the armature, what are the back emf and the mechanical power developed within the armature?

Key Concepts

DC Shunt Motor

A DC shunt motor is one where the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature winding, resulting in a relatively constant speed under varying load conditions. This configuration is known for its good speed regulation and is widely used in applications requiring stable operation despite changes in load.

Armature Circuit

The armature circuit of a DC motor includes the resistance and the inductance inherent in the rotating electromagnet. The voltage applied to the armature is partly used to overcome the voltage drop across the armature resistance, and the remainder appears as the back electromotive force (EMF). Understanding this circuit is key to analyzing motor performance under load.

Back Electromotive Force (EMF)

Back EMF is the voltage generated by the motor as its armature rotates within the magnetic field. This voltage opposes the applied voltage and is directly proportional to the speed of the motor. It plays a critical role in regulating the motor’s speed and determining the net voltage available for driving the armature current.

Electrical to Mechanical Power Conversion

The conversion of electrical power into mechanical power in a DC motor is determined by the product of the back EMF and the armature current. This relationship shows how the motor’s input electrical energy is transformed into useful mechanical work, while losses such as those due to armature resistance are separately accounted for.
