Q-3 (a) A 120 V dc shunt motor having an armature circuit resistance of 0.2 Ω 05
and field resistance of 60ohm, draws a line current of 40A at full load.
 The brush voltage drop is 3V and rated full load speed is 1800 rpm.
Calculate :(a) the speed at half load; (b) the speed at 125% of full load.

Q-3 (b) Derive the condition for the maximum efficiency in DC generator. 05

Q-3 (c) A 250 V shunt motor on no load runs at 1000 rpm and takes 5A. The 05
total armature and shunt field resistance are 0.2Ω and 250Ω
respectively. Calculate the speed when loaded and taking current of 50
A if the armature reaction weakens the field by 3%.
