In what sense.
If a rheostat is connected in parallel with a light bulb, the setting of the rheostat should have no effect on the performance of the light bulb, as long as the power supply is able to maintain its output voltage and deliver the current demanded by their parallel combination.
A well designed circuit should be able to operate over a range of voltages, not just at one voltage. Especially a circuit which is intended to be powered by a battery. As the battery starts to get used up, and the voltage drops, you want the circuit to operate as planned.
The current in the circuit will be decreased by half. Ohm's law states V=IR so, I=V/R. If R is doubled, then I= V/2R.
-- The voltage doesn't change. -- If the second light bulb is identical to the first, then the total resistance drops by half. -- If they're not identical, then we have to know the details of both before we can calculate their combined effective resistance.
First remember this rheostat is connected in series with the armature to increase the total resistance to limit the starting current, thus achieving max starting torque from the motor
a circuit with no resistance or zero resistance can be considered as open circuit in which the current is zero. without resistance the circuit just becomes open ()

If the resistance increases, while the voltage stays the same, current will decrease. Current = voltage divided by resistance

Nothing will happen to the resistance of the circuit. However, with the switch open, it will be 'seen' as having infinite resistance from the supply side.
If resistance is increased, current decreases. Ohm's Law: current equals voltage divided by resistance.
If it is connected in series with a circuit then it might raise the resistance too high and fail the system. Parallel connection is a circuit is probably the best bet you have.
For the circuit to get cold it must include a reversed junction thermocouple like in an electrical thermocooler.
The purpose of a voltmeter is to indicate the potential difference between two points in a circuit.When a voltmeter is connected across a circuit, it shunts the circuit. If the voltmeter has a low resistance,it will draw a substantial amount of current. This action lowers the effective resistance of the circuit andchanges the voltage reading.
In an electrical circuit, if resistance is doubled, EMF (measured in volts) stays constant, and current is halved.
