How to Evaluate Back EMF of DC Generator?

Back EMF of DC Generator evaluator uses Back EMF = Output Voltage-(Armature Current*Armature Resistance) to evaluate 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 Eb symbol.

How to evaluate Back EMF of DC Generator using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Back EMF of DC Generator, enter Output Voltage (Vo), Armature Current (Ia) & Armature Resistance (Ra) and hit the calculate button.
