Subsequently a switch is closed and the induced voltage (by the permanent magnets) drives the armature current through armature resistance and armature inductance out of the machine and through the external braking resistance. The internal and external losses are fed to a thermal capacitance, that increases the temperature. The amount of dissipated heat is equivalent to the kinetic energy of internal and external inertia.
