PHY 102 Last Minute Prep Objective Question

Question

An electric motor connected to 240V draws 15A. Armature resistance 0.15Ω. Calculate power developed.
Options
A 4325.8W
B 3566.2W
Correct Answer
C 2124.7W
D 1876.3W
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

P_input = VI = 240×15 = 3600W. P_loss = I²R = 225×0.15 = 33.75W. P_output = 3600 - 33.75 = 3566.25W.

Hint

Power developed = Input power - Power loss in armature.
