This depends on whether the voltage is AC or DC but an oscilloscope is the tool of choice for seeing voltages and how they change with time.
You can't. You must supply the motor with it's required voltage. If it's a dual voltage motor, follow the wiring schematic on the motor nameplate to switch from low to high voltage.
In an electric motor, the current decreases with a decrease in voltage due to the relationship defined by Ohm's Law, which states that current (I) is equal to voltage (V) divided by resistance (R) (I = V/R). When the supply voltage decreases, the available electrical energy to drive the motor also diminishes, resulting in a lower current draw as the motor operates at reduced power. Additionally, decreased voltage can lead to lower torque and speed, further contributing to the reduced current.
When the supply voltage to a series motor is reduced, the speed of the motor will also decrease. This is because a series motor's speed is directly related to the applied voltage; as the voltage drops, the current through the motor reduces, leading to a decrease in both torque and speed. Additionally, the reduced voltage results in a lower magnetic field strength, which further contributes to the decrease in speed. Thus, the motor will operate at a lower speed under reduced voltage conditions.
The voltage tag on a motor says 120 or 220 volt and some motors have jumpers to wire it for either one. That is the supply line voltage. The motor knows how to use that. If the plate says three phase is required then consult your electic supply Company for a three phase supply line.
In the electrical trade it is called control voltage. This voltage can be any voltage. In North America the common control voltage is 120 volts.
A basic electrical circuit needs a voltage supply (battery or household outlet), wiring to carry electrons to and from the voltage supply to the load, and a load (motor, light, heat element, stereo, blender, whatever).

In principle a generator is the same as a motor. In a dc motor the voltage generated by the rotating armature is slightly less than the supply voltage which causes power to flow in from the supply. If an engine is then coupled to the shaft causing it to rotate faster, then it generates more voltage and power flows back into the supply. That is how a motor becomes a generator.

For an electrical load, such as a lamp, heater or motor, to operate at its rated power, it must be subject to its rated voltage which always corresponds to the supply voltage. For this to happen, individual loads must be connected in parallel with the supply and with each other. So all the electrical loads in your home, in your car, etc., are ALL connected in parallel.

The commutator is the moving part of the electrical switch in motors that reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit. This is applicable in electrical motors and electrical generators.
When a motor is stationary, it is not generating a back-mmf which would otherwise act to oppose the applied voltage and, thus, reduce the supply current. However, as the motor runs up to speed, it generates an increasing back-emf, and the supply current falls.
No, you cannot connect a 240V 3-phase motor to a 480V supply by dropping a leg. The motor is designed to operate at a specific voltage, and changing the voltage in that manner can damage the motor and pose a safety hazard. It is recommended to use a transformer to step down the voltage to match the motor's rating.
A fan can use both voltages depending on what the manufacturer nameplates the motor voltage to be. AC is the most common voltage but some smaller fans like power supply fans in computers use a DC voltage. Check the fan motor's nameplate to supply the correct voltage.
The phase voltage is usually constant and determined by the supply voltage.
