Starter Motor Resistance

Starter Motor Resistance#

An automobile starter motor has an equivalent resistance of 0.090 \(\rm\ \Omega\) and is supplied by a 14.00 \(\rm\ V\) battery with a 0.006 \(\rm\ \Omega\) internal resistance.

Part 1#

What is the current to the motor?

Answer Section#

Please enter a numeric value.

Part 2#

What voltage is applied to the motor?

Answer Section#

Please enter a numeric value.

Part 3#

What power is supplied to the motor?

Answer Section#

Please enter a numeric value.

Part 4#

When the battery connections are corroded, its internal resistance increases by \({{ params.R_add }}\rm\ \Omega\). Significant problems are caused by even small amounts of unwanted resistance in low-voltage, high-current applications.
