III. METHODOLOGY
Let us begin by looking at a DC Shunt generator
schematic, and solve some simple problems regarding it. Given
the shunt generator below with a current of 220A through the
motor, find the back EMF and the power expended in the
armature.

IV. APPLICATIONS
Knowing how to best make use of, and interpret the
working of DC Motors, for both series and shunt, will be
incredible helpful when it comes to the real working
environment. Motors are one of the most important things
holding up our modern society, and as such, taking good time
to properly understand which one to use and how to use them
will be an invaluable skill for any engineer trying to make a
difference in the world.
