The back E.M.F. when rolling engine

= Ø Z N P
---------
60 x 10⁸ x b

= 200,000 x 82 x 900 x 4
----------------------
60 x 10⁸ x 2

= 4.92 volts

Forward E.M.F. at motor terminals
= 8.44

Hence E.M.F. for resistance
= 3.52 volts

Total motor ohms are therefore

3.52
---- = .020 nearly.
178

= R (say)

Let field resistance = Rꜰ
and armature " = Rᴀ

and allow Rꜰ = 10/7 Rᴀ

and .003 w for brush contact resistance.

Then Rᴀ = .007 w
Rꜰ = .010 w
Rʙ = .003 w
-------
Total R = .020 w
