The Electric Motor<br />

In a simple electric motor, a current loop experiences a<br />

torque which produces rotational motion. Such motion<br />

induces a back emf to oppose the motion.<br />

Applied voltage – back emf<br />

= net voltage<br />

V – E b = IR<br />

Since back emf E b increases with<br />

rotational frequency, the starting<br />

current is high and the operating<br />

current is low: E b = NBAw sin q<br />

E b<br />
