What would happen to an electric motor if the amount of current in the motor was reduced?

Depends on what sort of motor it was. If it was the sort you find in an ordinary electric drill, then it would slow down. But rememer, the only way you can reasonably reduce the current in to motor is to reduce the voltage in the supply. A motor takes what current it can, dependent on Ohm's Law. To reduce the current, reduce the voltage. But in a three-phase motor, the speed being dependent on the rotation of the phases, it would more or less stay the same. But this assumes it's not under load. A load would cause it to slow down.


How is the speed of an AC motor that's being driven by a constantly changing sine wave voltage effected?

Assuming the sine wave's angular frequency is what's changing, the motor will speed up and slow down in proportion to that frequency.

What would cause my blower motor on my truck to slow down while driving If you tap on it it usually comes back to full speed but then gradually slows down?

The blower motor is tired. It will eventually blow a fuse and/or burn out the blower motor speed resistor. Time to replace the blower motor. Also check connections for high resistance damage (melted connections).


What can cause the flow of electricity to slow down?

No, electricity will not slow down with increased resistance. The number of electrons moving through a conductor will decrease with increased resistance. Also there will be a drop in the voltage (electrical pressure) with increased resistance. Look up Ohms Law for formulas relating to voltage, resistance, and amplitude. E=I*R. E=voltage (pressure), I=the current (flow of electrons) R=the amount of resistance or the strength of the opposing flow of electrons. The speed of an electron through a conduvtor will always remain the same.


Would it be correct to say with a fixed field voltagethe speed of a shunt motor is proportional to its armature voltage?

With increasing torque load the armature tends to slow down; the motor draws more current to compensate, and if there is armature resistance the back emf generated by the armature falls to allow the increased current to flow, which causes the motor to settle at a lower speed. The mechanical output power is the speed times the torque, and increasing the torque increases the power output provided the speed does not drop much.

Replace the slow headlight motor.


How do you raise generator voltage?

A generator's terminal voltage can be raised by increasing the field current. This will result in an increased load on the generator, which will slow it down unless the governor kicks in to keep the generator at speed.


How should motor vehicles be operated around horses?

slow down when you are behind them and driving past them and then carry on as normal but don't be to slow or they get spooky (mine does anyway lol) :)
