Electric Current

Problem 3.193

A voltage \(V\) is applied to a dc electric motor. The armature winding resistance is equal to \(R .\) At what value of current flowing through the winding will the useful power of the motor be the highest? What is it equal to? What is the motor efficiency in this case?
