The mechanical power developed by a shunt motor will be maximum when the ratio of back e.m.f. to applied voltage is______________?

Correct answer: D. 0.5

  • A. 4.0
  • B. 2.0
  • C. 1.0
  • D. 0.5

Explanation

Mechanical power is proportional to E_b(V - E_b), which is maximum when E_b = V/2. Therefore, the ratio E_b/V is 0.5.
