SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the current in a DC motor with a coil resistance of 2.0 ohms, powered by a 12 V battery with an internal resistance of 0.5 ohms. The initial current at startup is calculated to be 24 A. For the running condition at 600 RPM, with an induced counter EMF of 10 V, further calculations are required to determine the current considering the internal resistance of the battery and the voltage across the coil.
