The back E.M.F. when rolling engine
Ø Z N P
= ---------
60 x 10^8 x b

201,000 x 74 x 1200 x 4
= -----------------------
60 x 10^8 x 2

= 5.95 volts

Forward E.M.F. at motor terminals
= 9.00

Hence E.M.F. for resistance
= 3.05 volts.

Total motor ohms are therefore
3.05
---- = .021 = R (say)
145

Let field resistance = R_F
and armature " = R_A
and allow R_F = 11/7 R_A
and .003 w for brush contact resistance

Then R_A = .007 w
R_F = .011
R_B = .003
----
Total R = .021 w.

Resistance of one armature turn
.007 x 4
= --------
37

= .000757 w

Length of armature turn = 11" approx.
