Field Current in a DC Motor is the flow of electrons through the field circuit by a field controller. The flux of the motor, that with the armature current generates torque, is directly proportional to the field current.

Field Voltage is the electrical potential energy applied on the field circuit by a field controller.

Legacy Field Controllers controlled the field voltage. Using I=V/Z (Z=R+iX) the field current is then indirectly controlled. Due to the heat generated by E=i2 R t in the motor, the resistance R would decrease, increasing the field current and therefore changing the base speed of the motor and disturbing the control.

Newer field controllers control the field current eliminating this problem

Difference between back EMF and induced EMF?

An induced electromotive force (emf) is an induced voltage. Voltage (emf) causes current flow, and this induced voltage will cause a current that is called the induced current.We might also add that the induced current will cause a magnetic field to expand about the current path, and this field will "sweep" the conductor. The sweeping of the conductor by that expanding magnetic field will set up an emf that will oppose the emf that was creating it.CommentTechnically, there is no such thing as an 'induced current'. It is voltage that is induced. Any current flows as a result of that induced voltage being applied to a load. But that current is certainly NOT induced!


What is hall effect hall voltage?

The Hall effect is the production of a voltage difference (the Hall voltage) across an electrical conductor, transverse to an electric current in the conductor and a magnetic field perpendicular to the current. It was discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879


When can voltage be induced but not current?

"Induced" is the verb you are looking for. A current is induced in the secondary circuit by the current in the first changing, provided both conductors are close enough for the driving current's electro-magnetic field to enclose the second conductor. Note that word "changing". Direct current produces a field but that remains constant and does not induce a secondary current, as a.c. does.


The control current of a transistor flows between which two terminals?

The control current of a transistor flows between the base and the emitter terminals in a bipolar junction transistor (BJT). In a field-effect transistor (FET), the control current is related to the voltage applied between the gate and the source terminals, influencing the current flow between the drain and the source. In both cases, the control current or voltage regulates the larger current flowing through the device.

What is the relationship between the electric field formula and voltage in an electric circuit?

The electric field formula and voltage in an electric circuit are related because voltage is a measure of the electric potential difference between two points in a circuit, and the electric field is the force that causes charges to move between those points. In simple terms, the electric field creates the voltage that drives the flow of electric current in a circuit.


Why current and voltages are in phase in resistor?

1) in inductor there is generation of magnetic field due to flow of current . so there is phase difference in voltage and current . 2)in capacitor there is storage of charges. there is phase diff. 3)But in case of resistor there is no such things are happend . it is only a power dissipating element.therefor there is no phase difference between current and voltage.


What is difference between induced voltage and induced current?

Just as a current flowing through a wire will produce a magnetic field, so a wire moving through a magnetic field will have a current flowing through it. This is called electromagnetic induction and the current in the wire is called induced current. A stationary wire in the presence of a changing magnetic field also has an induced current. A changing magnetic field can be produced either by moving a magnet near to the stationary wire or by using alternating current. A stationary wire in a magnetic field which is not changing will have no current induced in it. You will sometimes see this effect described as induced voltage. Strictly speaking, you will only get an induced current in the wire if it is part of a complete circuit. A wire which is unconnected at both ends will have a difference in voltage between the ends (a potential difference) but current can only flow when the wire is in a circuit. Induced current is used in electricity generation and transformers.Another AnswerThere is no such thing as an 'induced current', only an 'induced voltage'. Current will flow only if the conductor into which the voltage is induced forms part of a closed circuit.

What is the relationship between voltage and electric potential energy difference?

Voltage is a measure of the electric potential energy difference between two points in an electric field. The greater the voltage, the greater the electric potential energy difference between the two points.


What is the relationship between the electric field equation and voltage in an electric field?

The electric field equation describes the strength and direction of the electric field at a point in space. Voltage, on the other hand, is a measure of the electric potential difference between two points in an electric field. The relationship between the electric field equation and voltage is that the electric field is related to the gradient of the voltage. In other words, the electric field is the negative gradient of the voltage.


How can we calculate the electric field between two plates?

The electric field between two plates can be calculated by dividing the voltage difference between the plates by the distance separating them. This formula is represented as E V/d, where E is the electric field strength, V is the voltage difference, and d is the distance between the plates.


How does an antenna convert electromagnetic waves into a current?

According to Faraday's law: "When current is passed through a conductor, an EM field is produced surrounding it." As an antenna contains one or more conductors, the terminals of which are connected to some voltage, when this voltage at the terminals is applied, it produces/induces the alternating current which radiates the elements in the electromagnetic field. (Transmission) The reverse of this occurs in reception; where the electromagnetic field from another source induces an alternating current in the antenna, and a corresponding voltage at the antenna's terminals.

How does potential difference induce an electric current?

A potential difference, or voltage, creates an electric field along a conductor. This electric field exerts a force on the free electrons within the conductor, causing them to move in response to the voltage. This movement of electrons constitutes an electric current flowing through the conductor.
