Q.	What will happen if the back emf of a DC motor vanishes suddenly?
A.	the motor will stop
B.	the motor will continue to run
C.	the armature may burn
D.	the motor will run noisy
Answer» C. the armature may burn
Explanation: if back emf vanishes suddenly, motor circuit will try to retain back emf by drawing more current from supply. if supplying unit didn’t trip down by this time, excess current in armature may heat up the armature.
