    1. A DC motor develops a torque of 30 N-m. Determine the torque when the armature
    current is increased by 50% and the flux is reduced by 10%.

    2. A 10-hp 230-V DC series motor has a line current of 37 A and a rated speed of 1200 rpm.
    The armature and series field resistances are 0.4 Ω and 0.2 Ω respectively. The total brush
    voltage drop is 2 V. Calculate the following:
    a. Speed at a line current of 20 A.
    b. No-load speed when the line current is 1 A.
    c. Speed at 150% of the rated load when the line current is 60 A and the series field flux is
    125% of the full load flux.

    3. A 240-V DC shunt DC motor has an armature resistance of 0.25 Ω and a field resistance
    of 120 Ω. At full load the armature draws a current of 40 A and the speed is 1100 rpm.
    (i) Find the developed torque
    (ii) The field rheostat is adjusted so that the field resistance is 150 Ω. Find the new
    operating speed if the torque and the armature current remain constant.

    4. Compute the efficiency of 100 kW, 250-V, 6-pole, 1000 rpm long shunt compound
    generator. The generator has the following parameters

    Armature resistance R a = 0.015 Ω


    Series field resistance R s = 0.010 Ω
    Shunt field resistance R f = 100.0 Ω
    Total rotational losses = 4000 W
    Assume stray losses to be 1% of the output and a brush drop of 2 volts.

    5. A 100 V dc series motor has an armature resistance of 0.2 Ω and series field resistance of
    0.25Ω. When its pulley exerts a torque of 27.58 N.m it runs at a speed of 600 rpm, iron
    and friction losses at this speed are 300 W. Determine
    (i) lost torque
    (ii) copper losses and
    (iii) efficiency.

    Copper losses in series field and armature = I2(R a + R se )


    = I2 (0.2 + 0.25 )= 0.45 I2
    Input to motor =Motor output +− P s + copper losses
    = 1732 + 300 + 0.45 I2 = 2032 + 0.45 I2 ……..(i)
    Also motor input =VI = 100 I ……..(ii)
    Comparing expressions (i) and (ii) we get
    0.45 I2 +2032 = 100 I
    or I = 22.5
    (b) Copper losses = I2(R a + R se )= 22.52 ×0.45 = 227.8 W
    Output 1732
    (c) Efficiency of the motor, η = × 100 = × 100 = 76.97%
    Input 22.5 × 100
    Losses in watts 300 + 227.8
    (a) Torque lost = = = = 8.4 N.m
