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.

Do all currents provide the same amount of energy?

Of course not! There is no direct relationship between electric current and electric energy. They aren't even measured in the same units. Also in most cases small electric currents provide less electric energy that very large electric currents. If all electric currents provided the same electric energy then the electric current from a flashlight battery that lights the bulb when you turn the switch on could provide the same electric energy as the electric current in a lightning bolt when it strikes... therefore every time you turned on a flashlight the electric energy would destroy the flashlight and electrocute you! As this doesn't happen, the only answer that your question can have is no!


What must happen to the electric current in power lines before it can safely enter your home?

step-down transformer


What happen to current when paralle resistor added?

For the individual resistor, the current is constant, regardless of any other resister that's attached to it in parallel. The current that results from all the resistors combined decreases as the resistance of one or more of the resistors increases.


What will happen to the current if you add more bulbs to the cirrect series?

current will decrease


Is it possible to transmit power with leading power factor?

The power factor depends on the properties of the load, and if any power factor correction is done it has to happen at the load, so that the current in the transmission lines is reduced. Correcting the power factor at the sending end fails to address the problem.

Photosynthesis happening because of chloroplasts. it will reduce if chloroplasts are reduced.


What will happen to the emitter current if the emitter base is reversed biased?

as we know that in reverse bias condition no current is produced and if it produced by the minority charge carrier then also the current produced is in very less amount so u can say that emitter current will reduced to large extend as compare to emitter current in forward bias condition

What happen to an electric current after it passes through each bulb?

There is a piece of filament in every light bulb, which has so much friction that when the electric current passes through it, heat energy is produced. This heat energy is then converted to light energy.
