what is the speed of current?

Answer Posted / vasuram

When a DC voltage is applied the electrons will increase in
speed proportional to the strength of the electric field.
These speeds are on the order of millimeters per second. AC
voltages cause no net movement; the electrons "wiggle" back
and forth in response to the alternating electric field

A 500 V shunt motor runs at its normal speed of 250rpm when the armature current is 200A. The resistance of the armature is 0.12 Ω. Calculate the speed when a resistance is inserted in the field reducing the shunt field to 80% of normal value and the armature current is 100A.
