Q7. a) D.C. motors are used where very high torque and/or precise speed control is required. How does the control of magnetic field flux and armature current relate to the starting characteristics of a D.C. motor in such applications? (6)
b) A 220 V, D.C. shunt motor has an armature resistance of 0.5 ohm and an armature current of 40 A on full load. Determine the reduction in flux necessary for a 50 per cent reduction in speed. The torque for both conditions can be assumed to remain constant. (10)
