cuts this magnetic field.
Correct Answer: Magnetic field
CEMF
Correct Answer: Counter electromotive force (CEMF)
Horsepower: (Definition)
Correct Answer: The rated output capacity of the motor. It is based on breakdown
torque, which is the maximum torque a motor will develop without an abrupt drop in
speed.
