Engineering How Does Flux Density Influence DC Motor Performance?

[dc2209]

1. Hi, the question is "A simple D.C motor has been constructed using one pole pair having a square surface of 6cm × 6cm and produced a flux of 18mWb. The commutator has 4 segments, which allows for two simple loops to be connected. Two brushes are used with the positive applied to the brush nearest South Pole passing a current of 15A. Predict the performance of the motor by reference to electrical theory.



2. B= I/A maybe is a relevant equation?



3. I have worked out the flux density B = 0.018/0.036^2 = 13.89T. What would you suggest the question is getting at by saying to "predict performance by reference to electrical theory".


Thanks

It means what it says.
Use your understanding of electromagnetics to describe how you would expect the motor to perform.
