ve7prt that was a very good layman’s description of how the math works with electric motors. Thank you.
No problem! I hope it explained to everyone just how this all works.
Cheers!

Actually, the back EMF generated when the motor is up to speed is always slightly LESS than the applied EMF. If it was the same, there would be no current flow. Actually the back EMF is constantly fluctuating, attempting to keep motor RPM constant. This variation in motors is known as “slip” and slip is what produces torque.
