An inductive load can cause current to lag voltage in an AC circuit. An increase in resistance will decrease amount of current flow.

If a resistor acts to slow current then how can the current in a series circuit be the same through multiple resistors - Won't the current go down and be lower after each subsequent resistor?
No. A resistor doesn't slow down the speed of the current, it limits how much can flow. Current can only flow if there is a complete circuit. The curent flows from the negative terminal of the power supply, through the load (resistors, lamps, or whatever), back through the positive terminal. The same number of electrons that leave the negative terminal must return through the positive terminal, so the current must be the same anywhere in a series circuit. More resistance just limits the current more. Think of a single file line of people, standing so close to each other they are touching, trying to squeeze through a series of narrow openings. Each opening slows the line down a bit, but the same number of people that enter the line also come out at the other end. Since a person can't move until the one in front of him does, the number of people passing any particular point every second is the same no matter where you check. The more restrictions (resistance), the fewer people per second. Make sense?
Schematic for a slow releasing relay?
Are you talking about delaying the release of a relay? or actually slowing down the mechanism so it doesn't "Click". You'll NEVER get rid of the click, the inside of that consists of a metal arm attached to a spring. When current is applied, an electromagnet pulls the arm toward it and completes the circuit, it snaps because this happens very quickly. When the current is removed the spring snaps it back into its original place. If you want to slow down the release, put a capacitor and resistor in front of it. The capacitor stores the charge, while the resistor limits how fast it discharges. The actually capacitor values and resistor values will vary with how much current needs to be applied to keep the relay closed, and the length of time you want to keep it that way.

How can i slow down watthour meter?

How will the armature current and the output power of a dc shunt motors change with increasing load?
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.
What is Shunt reactor circuit diagram?
The fixed or mechanically switched reactors may be used for the absorption or generation of reactive power, the amount of reactive power produced is fixed and the response time is slow.
How fast an electric current flow in a circuit?
the ability if a substance to slow down electric current
Special load in a circuit that slows down the flow of electrons?
Loads do not 'slow down' electron flow. They effect the magnitude of a current, not its speed!
How does a resistor slow down the flow of change in a circuit?
It is made of a semiconductor that doesn't conduct electricity as well as the rest of the circuit. It dissiapates some of the electrical energy as the current flows through it.
How does a rivers current slow down?
A rivers current slows down when it runs into a bend.
The of a circuit tends to slow down the movement of electrons?
The "impedance" of a circuit slows down the movement of electrons. This can be resistive, reactive or a combination of both.
Why would nothing happen if a bulb blew up in a parallel circuit?
The total current in the circuit would be reduced by the amount of current that was supplying the bulb. No other bulbs in the circuit would be affected. The comparison is driving on a highway. If you are driving on a two lane highway and the car in front of you slows down, you must slow down. If you are driving on a four lane highway you may drive beside (parallel) to the car, so if that car slowed down you would not be affected.
How do you slow the current at seafoam islands?
its impossable because no Pokemon or human can slow down xcurrents
What slows down electicity?
Well, I guess you could say that inductance in a circuit does. Resistors don't 'slow it down'. They just dissipate some of the energy of an electric current, but it still gets to where it's going just as soon as if the resistors were not there.
How do you slow down the current to Articuno in Leafgreen?
push the boulders into the water
What is the ability of a substance to oppose or slow down electric current?
Insulators typically slow the movement of electrons through an electric current. Bad conductors, such as rubber, can be used to slow, stop, and/or redirect electric current.CommentInsulators do not 'slow down', 'stop', or 'redirect' current! Simply put, insulators don't have enough charge carriers to support conduction.
What is the name of the property of a material that slows down current and converts electrical energy into other forms of energy?
Resistance. And it doesn't "slow down current", it reduces the current.
Describe how an insulator can slow a transfer of energy?
Insulators can slow the energy transferred because since insulators make electric current pass slowly because of the insulator is a device to slow down the current
