Hi all,

I have a question about DC motors.

Lets say I have a DC souce connected to a DC motor. The motor is running for
a while, what happens when I disconnect the switch at time t=0? Please see
attached figure.

Which is the dominating factor of current flow? The armature inductance or
the back EMF?? If I neglect back EMF, the circuit will be easily explained.
Do back EMF come into this picture?

Any comments??
