ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. When a dc motor is driven without any load, why is the armature
current very small?
a. Whenever the speed is steady, the motor torque must be equal
and opposite of the load torque. Motor torque is proportional to

DISCUSSION
the direction of the power flow. In the machine, the field windings are place
on the stator and the armature windings on the rotor. The field windings are
wound on the poles of the stator and are supplied with DC current, which
produces the main magnetic field of the machine. The armature windings are
placed in the rotor slots, which are uniformly distributed around the rotors
periphery. Voltage supplied in the armature winding is made of the
alternating form by the use of the commutator,
produce equal but opposite forces around the armature core. Since there is a
presence of magnetic field generated from the poles, these equal and
opposite forces create rotary motion under the influence of the magnetic
field generated by the poles.
A DC motor is any of a class of electrical machines that converts direct
current electrical power into mechanical power. The most common types rely
CONCLUSION
After doing the experiment, I conclude that DC motors are electrical
machines which convert electrical power into mechanical power, this
developed mechanical power and torque developed depends on the speed at
which the armature core spins, this speed is controlled by the applied voltage
at the DC motor armature winding and the current supplied to the field
windings,
which will provides the magnetic flux which in turn causes the
rotary motion coupled with the equal and opposite forces that are developed
in the armature windings due to the supplied voltage.
Loaded DC motors
have higher values of armature winding current since this current is directly
related to the torque, as the load gets heavier the counter torque required is
of a larger value than a no loaded DC motor, as the load increases counter
torque increases causing the armature current to increase.
