At an armature current of 40 A, the internal voltage drop in the armature resistance is


 40 A 0.18  7.2 V . As shown in the figure below, there is a difference of 7.2 V between E A and
V T at a terminal voltage of about 110 V. The program to create this plot is identical to the one shown
above, except that the gap between E A and V T is 7.2 V. The resulting terminal voltage is about 110 V.
