A dc motor run by a source of emf 200 V draws a current of 10 A . If the efficiency of the motor is 40 % , then the resistance of the armature coil is
Options
- A5   Ω
- B12   Ω
- C30 Ω
- D25 Ω
Correct answer
B. 12   Ω
Step-by-step solution
Let us assume that the source voltage is E , the back emf developed in the armature coil is e , the armature resistance is R and the armature current is i . The efficiency of the motor is η = i e i E = e 200 = 0 . 4 ⇒ e = 80   V The armature current is i = E - e R ∴   10 = 200 - 80 R ∴   R = 12   Ω
