Homework Statement
An electric motor draws 20.0 A of current when first switched on. The motors windings have a resistance of 5.0 ohm. Once the motor is up to full speed it draws only 4.4 A of current. Calculate the counter emf generated in the motor at full speed
Homework Equations
I = V/R
V=IR
The Attempt at a Solution
R = 5.0 ohm
A1 = 20.0 A
A2= 4.4 A n
1. (20A)(5.0ohm) = 100 V
2. (4.4A)(5.0ohm) = 22V
3. 100V - 22V = 78V
Im told I am missing some "change", however I think this is correct, it is change in voltage?
