                  Thus, we can say that torque developed is proportional to the magnetic
               field strength or the magnetic flux ϕ and the magnitude of current I  flowing

               For a dc motor we can express armature current as (see eq. 7.3)








               where R  is the armature winding resistance and E  is the back EMF or
                         a
                                                                            b
               induced EMF in the armature.

                  At the moment of start, the speed N of the motor is zero. If N = 0, E  = 0.
                                                                                                    b
