A single-loop circuit schematic. On the left vertical wire is a DC voltage source labeled V = 24 V with its long positive terminal on top. On the top horizontal wire is a resistor representing internal armature resistance labeled R = 2.0 \Omega. On the right vertical wire is a circle containing the capital letter M representing the motor, with an opposing voltage symbol labeled \mathcal{E}_b = 20 V pointing opposite the source voltage. Smooth conducting wires complete the rectangular loop. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
Circuit model of the DC motor connected to a DC source.
A DC motor with an internal armature resistance of \(2.0 \ \Omega\) is connected across a constant \(24 \text{ V}\) power source. When the motor is prevented from turning (stalled), it draws a large current because no back-emf is generated. When operating at its normal running speed, the rotating motor generates a back-emf of \(20 \text{ V}\). What are the electric current through the motor and the mechanical power output produced by the motor at normal operating speed?
