PHY 102 Electromagnetic Induction Objective Question

Question

A DC motor has armature resistance 2 Ω and draws 5 A at full speed when connected to 120 V. What is the back emf?
Options
A 10 V
B 110 V
Correct Answer
C 120 V
D 100 V
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Using V - ε_b = IR, 120 - ε_b = (5 A)(2 Ω) = 10 V, so ε_b = 120 - 10 = 110 V.

Hint

Back emf = V - IR.
