Title : Laboratory on Permanent Magnet DC Motor Objective : To determine the Current (I) versus Voltage (V) characteristics of a permanent

magnet DC motor. Apparatus : Small permanent magnet (PM) DC motor One 0.5, 5W resistor Test/prototyping board Agilent 2351 A USB Data Acquisition Unit Procedure :

V + Vm Small Permanent Magnet (PM) DC motor M Vi One 0.5 , 5W Resistor

1. The circuit is connected as shown in the figure. 2. The Agilent VEE Pro software is opened and the diagram shown is keyed in with the command as below.

3. The power supply is set to 2 V, with the supply current high. 4. Run the Agilent Vee Pro software, the reading for the voltage and current are recorded by stop the program. 5. 3 readings are taken to get the average value. 6. Steps 3 to 5 are repeated for a stalled motor i.e. the motor is stopped from rotating by applying load until the motors disc is stalled. 7. Steps 3 to 6 are repeated for increment power supply voltage of 0.5V up to 4.0V.
Results and calculations : Mathematic equations are needed to obtain the data of motor resistance as in figure 1(a) : Average motor voltage = Total motor voltage / Number of motor voltage obtained Average motor current = Total motor current/ Number of motor current obtained Motor voltage (V) = Motor current (I) Motor resistance (R)

Conclusion : 1) For permanent magnet DC motor, motor current increases as the motor voltage increases. 2) No load motor resistance is always higher than the stalled motor resistance for same supplied voltage. 3) No load motor current is always higher than the stalled motor current for same supplied voltage.

4) Equation of back e.m.f, Vb = krw. For permanent magnet DC motor, back e.m.f, Vb in stalled condition is almost 0 V and constant along the increasing of supplied voltage while back e.m.f, Vb in no load condition increases as the supplied voltage increases. 5) For permanent magnet DC motor, motor resistance changes with supplied voltage for no load motor while motor resistance constant with supplied voltage for stalled motor. 6) Real motor resistance is equal to the stalled motor resistance.
