A 220 V shunt motor driving its normal load draws an armature current of 50 A from a 220 V dc source. The armature resistance of this motor including brushes is 0.25 ohms. How much armature current (minimum) Will this motor draw from a 200 V DC source when driving the same load with the field adjusted to maintain the same speed.
