Sometimes, for example in a separately excited dc motor. But in a series-wound dc motor the torque is proportional to current-squared, which gives the motor a very high starting torque and this makes series motors very popular for traction.

Is torque directly proportional to applied voltage?

Current is directly proportional to applied voltage. Ohm's law.


Which motor has a higher starting torque?

A series-wound commutator motor has the best starting torque because the torque is proportional to the square of the current, and the starting current is set by a current-limiting resistor which is switched out as the motor builds up speed.


Why the starting torque of a dc series motor is high?

load is heavier so starting torque is requiredAnswerBecause the same current is passing through both the armature and field windings, the torque is proportional to the squareof the current. Since the starting current is alway high (no back emf), the torque will be very high indeed.


What is shunt and series motor?

A series motor is one in which the field windings are in series with the armature windings. So the torque is proportional to the square of the supply current.'Shunt' is an archaic term for 'parallel'. So a shunt motor is one in which the field winding is in parallel with the armature windings. So the torque is proportional to the supply current.


What is the purpose of the energy?

Energy meter works on the same principle as the induction motor. An aluminium disc is placed inside a magnetic core with two limbs. One carries a voltage coil so its flux is proportional to voltage, the second carries a current coil so its flux is proportional to current. The two fluxes induce eddy currents into the disc, each of which interacts with the flux of the other to produce a torque, which accelerates the disc. This torque of course is proportional to flux × the eddy current, which equates to V × I, or power. A permanent magnet creates another eddy current resulting in a torque proportional to speed that brakes the disc, the combined result of these actions is that the speed of the disc is proportional to power, and the total number of revolutions is proportional to the energy that has passed through the meter. The disc drives a chain of gears that turn a mechanical counter, called a 'register'.


Which motor has high starting tourque?

Series motors have the highest starting torque. The torque is proportional to the square of the current, and the starting current is so high it has to be limited by a resistor called a rheostat. Series motos are used mainly on trams and trolley buses.


Current is proportional to the potential difference and inversely proportional to its?

Current is proportional to the potential difference and inversely proportional to resistance. Ohm's law: Current equals voltage divided by resistance


Current in a circuit is inversely proportional to?

In a circuit , current is inversely proportional to the resistance.


What is the relationship between torque and speed for an electric motor?

Torque and speed are inversely proportional


Current is inversely proportional to resistance?

Current is inversely proportional to resistance, this comes from the ohms law. V=IR If we keep the voltage as constant then Current will be inversely proportional to resistance


Why induction motor current increase when load increase?

The slip is proportional to the load torque in an induction motor. This can also be seen as a reduction in speed causing extra current to be induced in the rotor to supply the increased torque.


Relation between voltage speed and current in alternating current motor?

voltage is inversly proportional to speed speed and current are directly proportional to each other but voltage and current are directly proportional to each other..
