DC GENERATOR EMF GENERATION

DC GENERATOR EMF GENERATION

DC GENERATOR EMF GENERATION

(OP)
Why is it that when determining the percentage increase in the flux per pole of a generator, the first digit is not considered? e.g A d.c. generator running at 30 rev/s generates an e.m.f. of 200 V. Determine the percentage increase in the flux per pole required to generate 250 V at 20 rev/s. The answer for this question is said to be 87.5% NOT 187.5% ?

RE: DC GENERATOR EMF GENERATION

Percent increase - not times.

Half full - Half empty? I don't mind. It's what in it that counts.
