IncorrectA DC series motor with negligible series resistance is running at a certain speed driving a load, where the load torque varies as cube of the speed. The motor is fed from a 400 V DC source and draws 40 A armature current. Assume linear magnetic circuit. The external resistance, in , that must be connected in series with the armature to reduce the speed of the motor by half, is closest to
