1.What is an electric motor?
Electric motor is a machine which converts electrical energy into mechanicalenergy.2.Define DC motor.DC motor converts d.c. electrical input into mechanical output.
. What is the !asic "rinci"le of o"eration of a #c motor?
The basic principle of operation of a dc motor is that, a current carryingconductor placed in a
magnetic field experiences a force tending to move it.
$.Define !ac% emf.When a motor rotates, the conductors housed in the armature also rotate and cut the magnetic lines
of force. So an emf is induced in the armature conductors and this induced emf opposes the supply
voltage as per en!"s law. This induced emf is
called bac# emf $or% counter emf.
&. What is the nat're of the c'rrent flo(in) in the armat're con#'ctors of a #c
motor?<ernating current is following through the armature. This alternatingcurrent is converted into
dc by using commutator.

$0. What is meant ! ener) ratio?
This energy ratio cannot be called as efficiency. &s the stored energy - is not wasted as a loss but it is
feedbac# to the source through feed bac# diodes..

oad side controller performs some what similar function as commutator in a dC machine. The load
side converter and synchronous motor combination functions similar to a dc machine 'irst, it is fed from
a dc supply and secondly li#e a dc machine. The stator and rotor field remain stationary with respect to
each other at all speeds. Conse*uently drive consisting of load side converter and synchronous motor is
#nown as VCommutation less dc motor.
