![**Question 3:** The current drawn by a 120 V DC motor with a back EMF of 110 V and an armature resistance of 0.4 ohm is
**Explanation:**
To find the current drawn by the DC motor, we can use Ohm's Law and the formula for back electromotive force (EMF).
Ohm's Law is given by:
\[ I = \frac{V}{R} \]
Where:
- \( I \) is the current,
- \( V \) is the voltage,
- \( R \) is the resistance.
The voltage across the armature is the difference between the supply voltage and the back EMF:
\[ V = V_{\text{supply}} - V_{\text{back EMF}} \]
Given:
- Supply voltage (\( V_{\text{dc}} \)) = 120 V,
- Back EMF (\( V_{\text{back EMF}} \)) = 110 V,
- Armature resistance (\( R_{\text{arm}} \)) = 0.4 ohms.
First, calculate the voltage across the armature:
\[ V_{\text{armature}} = 120\text{ V} - 110\text{ V} = 10\text{ V} \]
Now, use Ohm's Law to find the current:
\[ I = \frac{V_{\text{armature}}}{R_{\text{arm}}} = \frac{10\text{ V}}{0.4\text{ ohms}} = 25\text{ A} \]
Therefore, the current drawn by the motor is **25 A**.
