Why in a three pin plug the earth pin is thicker and longer

Answer Posted / minal verma

We Know that Resistance=Resistivity X Length/Area
Since the area of earth pin is more it provides a low
resistance path for the current to flow.

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.
