Armature Current of Series DC Generator given Output Power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Armature Current = sqrt((Converted Power-Output Power)/Armature Resistance)
I_a = sqrt((P_conv-P_out)/R_a)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Armature Current - (Measured in Ampere) - Armature Current is defined as the current developed in the armature of an electrical DC generator due to movement of rotor.
Converted Power - (Measured in Watt) - Converted Power refers to the electrical power output that is generated by the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Output Power - (Measured in Watt) - Output Power refers to the product of current and voltage at the output terminal of a dc generator.
Armature Resistance - (Measured in Ohm) - Armature Resistance is the ohmic resistance of the copper winding wires plus the brush resistance in an electrical generator.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Converted Power: 165.5 Watt --> 165.5 Watt No Conversion Required
Output Power: 150 Watt --> 150 Watt No Conversion Required
Armature Resistance: 35.58 Ohm --> 35.58 Ohm No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
