dcterms:description The motor constant, or motor size constant, \(K_m = \tau / \sqrt{P}\), is the torque of a motor divided by the square root of the power dissipated in its windings. It measures how effectively a motor produces torque per unit of resistive loss, independently of how the windings are wound, and is expressed in newton metres per square root watt (\(N \cdot m / \sqrt{W}\)). Because it involves the square root of a power, its dimension carries the fractional exponents \(L^{1} M^{1/2} T^{-1/2}\). The term "motor constant" is also used in the literature for two distinct quantities: the torque constant \(K_t = \tau / I\) (see quantitykind:TorqueConstant) and the back-EMF constant \(K_e = V / \omega\), both of which have the dimension of magnetic flux and are numerically equal to one another in coherent SI units.
