I always assumed that electric motor current would increase under load, but every time I test this motor I find that it decreases.
It's a DC blower motor I have. It's 12V and draws 635 mA normally. If I put it under load (by blocking some the air flow) the current drops to about 450 mA.
I tried to research this online, but everything I found said that current should increase under load. Am I missing something simple or what?
