Motor in a circuit Going around the loop: The circuit is comprised of the voltage source and the motor. DC voltage source: rise : +V Set up KVL in the one loop – taking into account the equivalent circuit of the motor. Ammeter: zero voltage drop Resistor: voltage drop consistent with the direction of the current : VR + - Back-emf voltage: drop : -Vemf + KVL -
Motor in a circuit From previous: I Ohm’s law + VR - In lab, you use the ammeter to measure the current. You also know the value of the source voltage, V. Solve for Vemf:
