Why is a motor's current larger at start-up than at full speed?
ABack emf is small at first
BCoil resistance falls later
CField weakens at the start
DFriction rises at full speed
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Back emf is small at first
Back emf grows with speed and cuts the armature current, so the starting current is the largest.
