THEORY: -

MOTOR PRINCIPLE:-

An electric motor is a machine, which converts electric energy into mechanical
energy. Its action is based on the principle that when a current carrying
conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a mechanical force
whose direction is given by Flemings Left Hand rule and whose magnitude is
given by F = Bil N.

TORQUE:-

Consider a pulley of radius r meter acted upon by a circumferential force of F
Newton, which causes it to rotate at N rpm.

Then torque T = Fxr N.M
Work done by the force in one
Revolution = force x distance
= F x 2r J

Power developed = Fx 2r x N J/s or W
= (Fxr) x 2 N w
2N = angular velocity w red / sec
Power developed = Txw W

PROCEDURE: -
Connect the circuit according to circuit diagram.
Switch ON the supply.
Set the speed of armature at its rated speed.
First take reading at no load then gradually increase the load up to maximum
load and take readings of I
