What is armature torque?

Armature torque refers to the torque produced by the electromagnetic interaction within the armature of an electric motor or generator. It is generated when current flows through the armature winding, creating a magnetic field that interacts with the magnetic field from the stator. This interaction results in a rotational force, or torque, that drives the rotor. The magnitude of armature torque depends on factors such as the current, the strength of the magnetic field, and the configuration of the winding.
