What is the relation between the torque generate by a DC-motor is related to the current running through the windings of the DC-motor?
I have a test tomorrow morning at 8 and I'm lost. Also, my professor barely knows English.

I think I can de-Engrify the question to be, “What is the relation between the torque generated by a DC motor and the current running the windings of the DC motor?”.

But on a logical, semantic level, I don’t actually understand that question any better than the Engrish one, so I’ll leave you to figure out the answer for yourself.

It works the same way as a dual overhead camshaft.

Was that the answer to the question or a hint to me?

Here's the answer I used when I was in school:

When we had a new professor from Sri Lanka who barely spoke English and in a room of about 100 ME students spoke it at a level slightly higher than a whisper, we approached the dean of the college. He brushed us off. We then copied some of the materials the teacher gave us, with MUCH worse grammar than what you provided. The dean finally agreed to come and sit in on a lecture.

His solution, give the prof a PA system so he could be louder. In fact he was much louder, as well as the squeals and static because he had no clue how to use it. It was actually worse. I squeaked out of the class with a 2.5 GP and no one got higher than a 3.0 GP for the class.

When we filed a formal protest, the dean said "You guys are going to have to deal with people you don't understand in your respective fields, this is just another facet of your education". The same dean also thought CADKEY was better than AutoCAD.

Suck it it!

Wow, that guy is old school. That's 60s sitcom quality stuff: "If you talk louder, foreigners understand what you're saying."
