Laplace transforms:DC Motor circuit

Problem

Find the steady state current i(t) through a DC motor represented by a series R-L-Motor circuit. The resistance (R) is from the armature winding. The inductance (L) is the equivalent inductance of the wire coil (which turns by current flowing through the coil in a permanent magnetic field). The motor has input current i(t) and output angular velocity ω(t).

Solution

The torque is proportional to the armature current.

$T(t)=ki(t)$

Similarly, relating mechanical (T(t)ω(t)) and electrical (v_m(t)i(t)) power, the conservation of energy requires the same proportionality between the voltage across the motor (v_m(t)) and the angular velocity (ω(t)).

$v_m(t)=k\omega (t)$

We want to find the Laplace transfer function of the motor.

$\mathrm{\Omega }(s)={ℒ}[\omega (t)]/v_s(s)$

Summing the voltages around the series circuit gives us our differential equation.

$v_s(t)=Ri(t)+L\frac{di(t)}{dt}+k\omega (t)$
