A 220-V d.c. machine has an armature resistance of 1.0 Ω. If the full-load armature current is 10 A, find the induced e.m.f. when the machine acts as (a) generator (b) motor. (Assume d.c. machine to be shunt connected and in each case it is considered negligible)

E.M.F. in case of DC generator is given by:
Eb = V + IaRa
Case 2: Motor

E.M.F. in case of DC motor is given by:
Eb = V - IaRa
Calculation:
Case 1: When the DC machine is acting as a generator
VT = 220V, Ra = 1Ω, Ia = 10A
Eg = 220 + (10× 1)
Eg = 230 V
Case 2: When the DC machine is acting as a motor
Eg = 220 - (10× 1)
Eg = 210 V
