Someone said once that if you add resistance to a circuit amp draw stays the same. Example if you have a 12v motor and it draws 10amp and you'd like to reduce it to 7 amps, adding a resistor (using ohms law not debating that at all) to the circuit would still have the same amp draw. I've scratched my head since I've read it. If you reduce the speed of a motor and it turns slower, amp draw goes down. The resistor would add "resistance" but not draw as many amps as the load would of originally...
