An electric motor operating at a 100 V D.C. supply draws a current of 12 A. If the efficiency of the motor is 30%, calculate the resistance of its winding.

  1. A \( 2.31 \, \Omega \)
  2. B \( 7.13 \, \Omega \)
  3. C \( 3.24 \, \Omega \)
  4. D \( 5.83 \, \Omega \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( 5.83 \, \Omega \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( P_{in} = V \times I = 100 \, \text{V} \times 12 \, \text{A} = 1200 \, \text{W} \) \( P_{loss} = P_{in} - P_{out} = P_{in} (1 - \eta) = 1200 \, \text{W} (1 - 0.30) = 840 \, \text{W} \)…
