Answer:
The resistance of the motor is 8.91 ohms.
Explanation:
Given that,
Voltage of the socket, V = 120 V
Current, I = 2.4 A
Back emf generated by the electric motor is, E = 98.6 V
We need to find the coil resistance of the motor. The new emf on the vacuum cleaner is
The resistance of the motor is given by :
So, the resistance of the motor is 8.91 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.
