A vacuum cleaner is plugged into a 120.0-V socket and uses 3.0 A of current in normal operation when the back emf generated by the electric motor is 72.0 V Find the coil resistance of the motor?

Stable voltage across the motor = (120 - 72) = 48 V R = E / I = 48/3 = 16 ohms. (Assumes power-factor of 1, no reactances, back-emf in phase with the line, etc.)

What portable device did James Spengler invent in 1907?
portable electric vacuum cleaner
How is the vacuum created in a vacuum cleaner?
Although it is called a vacuum cleaner, it does not actually create a vacuum. Inside the cleaner there is an electric motor which drives a fan blade. This fan blows air out of the vacuum cleaner and this causes air to be drawn in to the cleaner at the other end. Thus the cleaner works by creating an air flow, not a vacuum.
Who invented the vacuum cleaner?

Do a Vacuum cleaner needs a magnet?
If the vacuum cleaner is powered by electricity this is used to turn the electric motor which is needed to create the suction or vacuum. That motor either has permanent magnets inside it, or the current passes through many "turns" of wire to create magnets when you switch the cleaner on. Early experiment in electricity showed that if a wire is moved in a magnetic field some current is created. Similarly, if a magnet is moved near to a wire the same result occurs. So, yes the cleaner does need a magnet.
Why does a vacuum cleaner cord get warm?
The cord of a vacuum has a certain amount of resistance in it, even though it is made of copper. Forcing current through a resistor creates heat, and the cord is going to get warm after the machine is operated for a while.
What was invented first Electric or an an electric vacuum cleaner?
the vacuums go back to the mid 1800s but they became electric in 1910 for the vacuum cleaner , 1931 for the electric guitar.
Are electric trains bad for the environment?
Most vehicles harm the environment, including electric trains, however, electric vehicles are cleaner than gasoline and diesel powered vehicles because some electricity is generated from renewable sources like water, wind and sun.
What is better electric or nitro?
electric has better performance and is cleaner but nitro can fly for ever if you have enough fuel
Is an electric robotic pool cleaner better than a vacuum run cleaner?
Not as quick, but then it frees time up for the would be human cleaner. Quality is not a big difference.
Who invented the electric vacuum cleaner?
James Murray Spangler invented the first motorized, portable vacuum cleaner. Spangler was a janitor in Ohio and used an electric fan, a box, and one of his wife's pillowcases.
