Energy Conversion in DC Machines | Motors & Generators

AI Thread Summary
Energy conversion in DC machines, whether as motors or generators, involves Lenz's Law, where the current generated opposes the magnetic field, creating a resistive force against the armature's motion. This interaction results in the production of torque when a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, demonstrating the principles of electromagnetic induction. Understanding these concepts may require consulting textbooks or resources like Wikipedia for a foundational overview. The discussion emphasizes the complexity of the topic, suggesting that specific questions can facilitate clearer answers. Overall, grasping the mechanics of energy conversion in DC machines is essential for comprehending their operation.

How energy conversion takes place in dc machines (motor or generator)
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
You should grab a textbook for an explanation. Wikipedia probably has something on this as well. It's too much to explain how it works in one post.
 
ok i better ask specific questions so that it wud be easier to answer.first of all in generators how and wat force is produced,that resists the motion of armature being moved by a prime mover.
 
A current is produced in the generator which would oppose the magnetic field (usually of permanent magnets). This is Lenz's Law in action. And I second taking a look at the Wikipedia articles on generators and motors, which will give you a high-level introduction to this topic. After that, perhaps an introductory electromagnetics textbook? You're asking a lot with this question.
 
energy coonversion is taking place in dc machines by the action of lenz law.current passes thru the coil which felts under magnetic field and turns to induction principle.ie: curren carrying conductor in a magnetic field effects a force which inturns into a torque.
 
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
