Extract

In an alternating current motor (of simplest type) the internal E.M.F. e, the terminal tension e, the useful electrical power transformed p and the rotor phase angle φ are connected by the known formula

in which

where r is the resistance and l the self-inductance of the armature and ω the angular velocity of the rotor.
