How does back EMF affect supply voltage?

As the back emf depends on the current their value also decreases. The magnitude of the back EMF is nearly equal to the supply voltage. If the sudden load is applied to the motor, the motor becomes slow down. As the speed of the motor decreases, the magnitude of their back emf also falls down.

How to Calculate Back EMF of DC Generator?

Back EMF of DC Generator calculator uses Back EMF = Output Voltage-(Armature Current*Armature Resistance) to calculate the Back EMF, The Back EMF of DC Generator is defined as the opposition offered the supply voltage. The supply voltage induces the current in the coil which rotates the armature. The electrical work required by the motor for causing the current against the back emf is converted into mechanical energy. Back EMF is denoted by E_b symbol.
