Analysis of Single Conductor Generator and Motor (Contd.) — Lesson 2

This lesson covers the fundamental concepts of motor and generator operations. It delves into the analysis of a single conductor motor and generator, explaining the arrangement and operations in detail. The lesson also discusses the effects of closing a switch in a circuit, leading to current flow and the generation of an electrodynamic force. It further explains how this force causes the conductor to move, generating a voltage across its ends. The lesson concludes by demonstrating how the velocity and current change over time, following specific equations.
