Show affiliationsIn this article, we describe a simple method which can be used to measure the efficiency of a low power dc motor, a motor-converted dynamo and a coupled motor–dynamo module as a function of the speed of rotation. The result can also be used to verify Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.
