Armature Current of DC Motor Formula Elements

Variables
Armature Current
Armature Current DC motor is defined as the armature current developed in an electrical dc motor due to the rotation of rotor.
Symbol: Ia
Measurement: Electric CurrentUnit: A
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Armature Voltage
The Armature Voltage is described by making use of Faraday’s law of induction. Induced voltage of a closed circuit is described as rate of change of magnetic flux through that closed circuit.
Symbol: Va
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Constant of Machine Construction
Constant of Machine construction is a constant term which is calculated separately to a make calculation less complex.
Symbol: Kf
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Magnetic Flux
Magnetic flux (Φ) is the number of magnetic field lines passing through the magnetic core of an electrical dc motor.
Symbol: Φ
Measurement: Magnetic FluxUnit: Wb
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Angular Speed
Angular speed refers to the rate at which an object rotates around an axis. In the context of a DC (direct current) motor, angular speed represents how fast the motor's rotor is spinning.
Symbol: ωs
Measurement: Angular VelocityUnit: rev/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
