When additional 10\Omega resistance connected in series with armature.
E_{b2}=280-(10+1) I_{a_2} =280-11I_{a_2}
Given: \tau \propto N
We know, \tau \propto \phi I_a \text{ (Here, }\phi \rightarrow constant)
So,
\begin{aligned} \tau &\propto I_a \\ \therefore \; N &\propto I_a \\ or \; \frac{N_2}{N_1}&=\frac{I_{a_2}}{I_{a_1}}\\ I_{a_2}&=N_2 \times \frac{30}{1000}\\ \therefore \; E_{b_2}&=280-\left ( 11 \times \frac{30}{1000} \right )N_2\\ &\text{We also have,}\\ E_b &\propto\phi \omega \\ \therefore \frac{E_{b_2}}{E_{b_1}}&=\frac{N_2}{N_1}\\ &\frac{280-\left ( 11 \times \frac{30}{1000} \right )N_2}{250}=\frac{N_2}{1000}\\ \Rightarrow N_2&=482.758rpm \end{aligned}

Question 7 Explanation:
Given separately initiated DC motor,
Field excitaion is constant,
Producing a torque of 500 N-m
\begin{aligned} &\text{At zero speed,}\\ \because \; N&= 0,\; E_b=0\\ E_b &= V-I_aR_a\\ 0&= 100-I_a(0.05)\\ \therefore \; I_{a1} &=\frac{100}{0.05} =2000A\\ T &= \frac{60}{2 \pi N}E_bI_a\\ &= \frac{60}{2 \pi N}\frac{\phi ZNP}{60A}\cdot I_a\\ \text{Let,}\;\; T_1&=\frac{1}{2 \pi}\frac{ZP}{A}\phi I_{a1}\;\text{N-m} \\ \text{Let,}\;\; T_1 &=kI_{a1} \\ \text{where,}\;\; k &= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\frac{ZP \phi}{A}\\ T_1 &= 500 \text{N-m}, \\ I_{a1}&=2000A\\ k&=\frac{500}{2000}=0.25 \end{aligned}
When motor runs on no-load given all mechanical losses neglected. No-load current is negligible and the voltage drop at no-load can be negligible.
\begin{aligned} \therefore \;\;E_b &\simeq V=150V \\ E_b&= \frac{\phi ZNP}{60A}\\ \text{Already solved,}\\ k&=\frac{1}{2\pi} \frac{ZP \phi }{A}\\ \therefore \;\;\frac{ZP \phi }{A} &=2 \pi (k) \\ \therefore \;\; E_b &= 2 \pi (k) \cdot \frac{N}{60}\\ \therefore \;\; E_b&= k \times \omega \\ (\omega : & \text{No-load speed in rad/sec})\\ \therefore \;\;\omega &= \frac{E_b}{k}\\ \therefore \;\;\omega &= \frac{150}{0.25}\\ \omega &= 600 \text{rad/sec} \end{aligned}
Field excitaion is constant,
Producing a torque of 500 N-m
\begin{aligned} &\text{At zero speed,}\\ \because \; N&= 0,\; E_b=0\\ E_b &= V-I_aR_a\\ 0&= 100-I_a(0.05)\\ \therefore \; I_{a1} &=\frac{100}{0.05} =2000A\\ T &= \frac{60}{2 \pi N}E_bI_a\\ &= \frac{60}{2 \pi N}\frac{\phi ZNP}{60A}\cdot I_a\\ \text{Let,}\;\; T_1&=\frac{1}{2 \pi}\frac{ZP}{A}\phi I_{a1}\;\text{N-m} \\ \text{Let,}\;\; T_1 &=kI_{a1} \\ \text{where,}\;\; k &= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\frac{ZP \phi}{A}\\ T_1 &= 500 \text{N-m}, \\ I_{a1}&=2000A\\ k&=\frac{500}{2000}=0.25 \end{aligned}
When motor runs on no-load given all mechanical losses neglected. No-load current is negligible and the voltage drop at no-load can be negligible.
\begin{aligned} \therefore \;\;E_b &\simeq V=150V \\ E_b&= \frac{\phi ZNP}{60A}\\ \text{Already solved,}\\ k&=\frac{1}{2\pi} \frac{ZP \phi }{A}\\ \therefore \;\;\frac{ZP \phi }{A} &=2 \pi (k) \\ \therefore \;\; E_b &= 2 \pi (k) \cdot \frac{N}{60}\\ \therefore \;\; E_b&= k \times \omega \\ (\omega : & \text{No-load speed in rad/sec})\\ \therefore \;\;\omega &= \frac{E_b}{k}\\ \therefore \;\;\omega &= \frac{150}{0.25}\\ \omega &= 600 \text{rad/sec} \end{aligned}

Question 10 Explanation:
Given, R_a=0.1\Omega
As, DC generator is connected with DC grid, the output voltage will be constant.
When generator is running at 800 rpm,
Generator emf,
\begin{aligned} E_{a1} &=V+I_{a1}R-a \\ &= 145+150 \times 0.1\\ &= 160V \end{aligned}
When generator is running at 1000 rpm,
Generator emf,
\begin{aligned} E_{a2} &=E_{a1} \times \frac{N_2}{N_1}\\ &= 160 \times \frac{1000}{800}\\ &= 200V \end{aligned}
