Series Motors, — Consider a direct-current armaturemounted within a single-phase alternating magnetic field,as in Fig. 13. When the armature is stationary an electro-motive force will be induced in the armature turns, dueto the alternating flux which passes between the fieldpoles. The greatest ^s will be induced in the turnsperpendicular to the field axis, since these turns link with. Fig. 13. the greatest number of Hues of force; and no willbe induced in the turns in line with the field axis. Thedirections of the induced in the armature turnsby the change in field flux are indicated in the figure bythe full arrows, and it is seen that the maximum value ofthis is across BC, As in transformers, the effec-tive value of this electromotive force is JIt = —7= V 2 10^ where $^ is the maximum value of the flux entering the (i) TYPES AND PERFORMANCE CURVES OF MOTORS. 31 armature and A^ is the equivalent number of armature turns. The maximum number of Hues of force linked with a single turn depends upon the position of this turn in the magnetic field, and is proportional to the greatest value of $^ times the cosine of the angle of displacement of the turn from the position AD, Assuming the turns to be evenly distributed over the periphery of the armature, the average value of the maximum flux linked with the arma- 2ture turns will be - ^.
