Why is the speed of DC shunt motor dependent on Back EMF?

Right Answer is:

Because flux is constant in DC shunt motor

SOLUTION

  • In the case of DC motors Speed ∝ Back emf(Eb)/flux(φ).
  • The field winding is connected across the armature. The resistance offered by the field is constant so the current is constant. As current is constant flux also becomes constant b the cause flux is directly proportional to current.
  • Therefore the speed of the DC shunt motor depends on the back EMF.
