If you have a DC passing through a circuit will the current decrease when you add a DC motor and if so by how much?

In the circuit where the DC motor is added, it was not specified whether the motor was added in series or in parallel to circuit elements. If it was added in series, it will increase circuit resistance and it will cause circuit current to go down. In parallel, the motor will reduce total circuit resistance, and circuit current will increase.

How is current distributed in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, all components gets the same amount of current passing through them.
In a parallel ac circuit is the current additive?
Yes In parallel circuit , current entering into the circuit will be divided intodifferent paths ( resistances) . Amount of current flow depends upon the magnitude of resistance applied in the circuit. Total current after passing through the circuit will be the sum of all current through each resistance.
An increase in resistance in a circuit will cause?
In a simple circuit, lowering the voltage will not cause the resistance to do anything. Lowering the voltage will, however, cause the current to also lower.This ignores temperature coefficient. If there is substantial power involved, a typical bulb, for instance, will grow cooler and its resistance will decrease when you lower the voltage, but that is usually a small effect.
If voltage changes in a ac circuit what happens to current?
Voltage attempts to make a current flow, and current will flow if the circuit is complete. It is possible to have voltage without current, but current cannot flow without voltage. The answer is "yes",voltage remains the same as current moves through the circuit.As the voltage remains constant, current increases in the circuit.
Will the impedance in a series RL circuit increase as the frequency decreases?
When the frequency of Parallel RL Circuit Increases,XL increases which causes IL (current through inductor) decreases. Decrease in IL causes It (It=Il+Ir) to decrease,which means by relation IT=Vs/Zt ,the Zt (Total Impedance) Increases.

What is the name of a device that can be used to control the amount of current?
A resister limits the amount of current passing through a circuit.
What are the effects of power on a resistive device?
Current passing through a resistor, et al, causes heat. The heat causes the resistance of said resistor to decrease, which causes current to increase, and the cycle just keeps going until the circuit burns out.
When reversed biased a diode acts like an open circuit?
The key function of a diode is to control the direction of the flow of current. Current passing through a diode can only go one way, which is called forward biased. In this setup, current is continuous hence the circuit is closed. When there is no current passing through, there will be no flow, and this is called reversed biased. In such a case, current is not continuous, hence it is called open circuit.
The instrument used to increase or decrease the passage of electric current through a circuit is called?
try RHEOSTAT
Why resistor provides bias condition to the circuit?
A specified amount of current is allowed to flow through the diode. if the current passing through the diode exceeds the specific value, the diode gets heated and is likely to be damaged. therefore in a biasing circuit a resistance R has been applied , which limits the current passing through the diode within a specific value.
What is the difference between a fuse and circuit?
a fuse main purpose is to quickly disconnect a short circuit. when the current passing through it exceed its rated value
Is electric circuit also called series circuit?
The 2 simplest Electrical circuits areSeries Circuit - Same amount of current running through loads but voltage various by the resistance of the loadsParallel Circuit - Same voltage on the different loads by subject to the load resistance, the current passing through is different

What is a closed path through which current can flow?
A closed path through which a current can flow is called a circuit. Electric Circuit:)
Why is a fuse wire necessary in a circuit?
a fuse wire melts when current passing through it exceeds a certain value as in overloading and short circuiting .this breaks the circuit prventing further current flow and damage ..
