Here is the torque-speed curve.
As the RPM Of an engine increases, torque increases upto a certain value of

RPM. And as the RPM goes on increasing, torque starts decreasing.
To understand this behaviour, you need to understand one more term which is
called as “ Low-End torque”. Low -End Torque is the amount of torque produced
at Low RPM range of an engine ( around 1000–2000 rpm) .This low end torque is
very crucial when moving a vehicle from stand-still or driving in slow-speed
conditions such as in traffic. If the greater amount of torque is generated at the
lower end of engine rpm, it implies that the engine has more ‘low-end-torque’
or better pulling ability at slow speeds.
It also implies that vehicle can move very quickly from rest/stand still.
Now as the engine speed keeps increasing, torque starts to decrease because of
 increase
the inquestion?
Still have a friction between engine’s moving parts.
Ask your own!
Engine torque is also related to the gearing. The lower the gear, greater is the
pulling ability of an engine and hence greater the torque..
If you know the Horsepower (HP) of an engine, then you can calculate the torque
using the formula :-
Torque = (HP*5252)/RPM

In simple words, when the engine is started up the torque produced is
dependent on the rpm of the engine when the engine is running at low speeds,
when the speed of the engine increases , the torque also increases till the
maximum torque is produced which is in range 3000–5000rpm. After the
maximum torque is produced, any further increase in engine speed will give out
constant maximum torque.

RPM is nothing but Revolutions Per Minute. In Engine, simply RPM tells you
how many times the shaft have completed its rotation with respective to a fixed
axis in a minute.
But how does this shaft rotates?
Its because of Torque that you apply to it.
So, the more force you apply more torque it is and more RPM finally.
But one puzzling question is that
“Why Torque decreases with RPM after certain point?”
This is because of amount of fuel intake at higher speed.
When you pedal more, throttle allows more Air-Fuel mixture to enter the Engine
Cylinder.
But as theispiston
What yourmoves very fast in fraction of seconds, not all exhaust gases
question? Ask are
thrown out during the exhaust stroke and so in very next intake stroke, the
chamber takes in less amount of fuel. So, at higher RPMs, the engine cylinder is
filled with less amount of fuel mixture.
So, as the fuel that is taken is in less amount, the force applied to the engine
becomes less. Hence the less torque at higher RPMs.
So, that is why when you drive, it is advisable to drive in top gears as much as
possible and as soon as possible. Because at low gears, fuel consumption is more
than at the higher RPMs.

They both are inversely propotional.
Power = Torque x RPM
Usually engine generates constant power with very less fluctuations. This makes
other two entities inversely propotional.
This also explains how we use gears or why we use gears.

At 1st gear we need high torque so we have low speed at high torque. As the
necessity of torque reduces we keep increasing gears.
Edit: For le men to understand it better, here it is in simple terms...
RPM is how fast you hit a wall.

Power is how hard you hit a wall.
And Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

The answer of Dushyant of saravayya is excellent and complete for

Internal combustion Engine.
In case of say induction motors there are some variations. In an

induction motor, the speed does not drop drastically . As The load
increases the motor draws more current and slip increases and takes
the load as required in operating range. Only when the load exceeds the
design range, then both Torque and speed starts to collapse. This is
called the stalled rotor conditions. Induction motors are the work
horses and are well over 99.999 percent of motors in the world.
In case of Synchronous motors the speed remains constant and it it

They are used for fixed speed applications. Most of them are used as
power generators.
In case of Turbines the load carrying is based on the flow rate of steam.
generally the Temperature and pressure of steam/ gas will generally be
constant, against the vanes and blades.
I hope I have added some additional information to the question.

Speed of a motor is the rate at which it spins and is often given in “rpm” or
rotations per minute.
While torque is the amount of twisting force generated by the motor (often
through a shaft).
Higher speed does not necessarily imply high torque. Two motors having same
speed may deliver different torque values.
For a given motor, if you apply twice the voltage you'll double the no-load speed,
double the torque, and the power would become four time. This is assuming that
the motor doesn't burn up.
Notes on Torque
When a body is subjected to a force about an axis (example door pushed by you
about the hinge that is the axis) then this force provides a twisting action to the
What
body thatis yourthe
makes question? Ask
body turn or rotate. This twisting action is called Torque.
It is given as the product of -

“distance of the force from the axis of rotation” (that is the position vector)
and
the “component of the force that is perpendicular to this position vector”
or τ = r Ft
(Ft - is the tangential component or the one perpendicular to “r”)
Torque is a vector and is a cross product of the position vector and the force
vector. When the rotation is only in clock-wise or anticlockwise direction, the
sign minus or plus is attached to the value of torque to give it vector identity
The unit of torque is newton meter(N-m) but you must remember that the unit
of work is also N.m but the two are totally different entities.

There is no relation between engine rpm and torque. I can explain this by taking
few bikes as examples.
Take the case of high torque at low rpm. This category deals with heavy weight
vehicles such as RE bullet and trucks. They need high torque at as low as 2500
rpm but their torque value decreases as engine rpm increases since they are not
focused to achieve high speed. Thus they achieve low torque at their max speed
or max rpm.
Again, take the case of low torque at low rpm. The Yamaha R15 and sports bikes
are in this category. They are mainly focused to achieve top speed rather than
initial torque. They usually achieve max torque at their highest rpm, i.e 12000
for R15.

Its simple ! Higher the rpm lower will be the torque . At high rpm you get more
power . You may have seen a engine specs that say 94Nm @4600 rpm it means
that at 4600 rpm of the engine the output torque from the engine you get is
94Nm .Above 4600 the engine torque reduces . But note that torque produced is
Engine Torque where you don't couple engine with the gear box .To enhance
the torque for particular applications you design gear train accordingly !
