A 220 V, 10 kW, 900 rpm separately excited DC motor has an armature resistance Ra= 0.02 Ω.
When the motor operates at rated speed and with rated terminal voltage, the electromagnetic
torque developed by the motor is 70 Nm. Neglecting the rotational losses of the machine, the
current drawn by the motor from the 220 V supply is

A 220 V DC series motor runs drawing a current of 30 A from the supply. Armature and field
circuit resistances are 0.4 Ω and 0.1 Ω respectively. The load torque varies as the square of the
speed. The flux in the motor may be taken as being proportional to the armature current. To
reduce the speed of the motor by 50% the resistance in ohms that should be added in series with
the armature is _________.
