For a universal motor, the rated supply current is 10A giving a rated torque of 100 N-m. If a current of 5A is applied, what will be generated torque vary to?(a) 250 N-m(b) 400 N-m(c) 500 N-m(d) 1000 N-mThis question was addressed to me in quiz.The doubt is from Torque in DC Machines topic in division Electromechanical Energy Conversions of Electrical Machines

Answer» CORRECT OPTION is (b) 400 N-m

The best I can explain: The torque is proportional to the SQUARE of the current.

So the NEW torque will be100*(2^2) = 400 N-m.
