Q.57.A separately excited DC motor runs at 1000 rpm on no load when its armature terminals are connected to a 200 V DC source and the rated voltage is applied to the field winding. The armature resistance of this motor is 1Ω. The no-load armature current is negligible. With the motor developing its full load torque, the armature voltage is set so that the rotor speed is 500 rpm. When the load torque is reduced to 50% of the full load value under the same armature voltage condition, the speed rises to 520 rpm. Neglecting the rotational losses, the full load armature current (in Ampere) is______
