1 c) SIGNIFICANCE OF BACK EMF IN D.C. MOTOR:-

MOTOR:
• As the armature of the DC motor starts rotating
rotating,, the flux which is responsible for
their rotation is cut and consequently an e.m.f. is induced in them in accordance
with Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction.
• This e.m.f. always acts in opposition with the applied voltage (V) ( ) and is known
as back e.m.f. Eb or counter e.m.f. 2 Marks
• Since the back e.m.f. opposes the applied voltage across the armature, the net
voltage acting in the armature circuit is the d
difference
ifference between these, this
effective voltage determines the value of armature current ((Ia).
• If Ra is the armature resistance, then from Ohm’s law, Ia = (V-. Eb )/Ra amperes.
• In the running condition, . Eb is nearly equal to V.. As the internal resistance of
the armature of a d.c. motor being very low, it is the back e.m.f. which mainly
limits the armature
ture current in the running condition of the motor.

Voltage regulation Good Better

More costly for same
Cost Less cost
capacity
6 f) List special features of welding transformer.
6 f Ans:
Special features of welding transformer:
i) It is a step down transformer that reduces the voltage from the source voltage to a
voltage desired according to the demands of the welding process.
1 Mark each
ii)Having large primary turns and less secondary turns.
(any Four)
iii)The secondary current is quite high.
iv)The secondary has several taps for adjusting the secondary voltage to control the
welding current.
v)The transformer is normally large in size compared to other step down

transformers as the windings are of a much larger gauge.
