No, electricity will not slow down with increased resistance. The number of electrons moving through a conductor will decrease with increased resistance. Also there will be a drop in the voltage (electrical pressure) with increased resistance. Look up Ohms Law for formulas relating to voltage, resistance, and amplitude. E=I*R. E=voltage (pressure), I=the current (flow of electrons) R=the amount of resistance or the strength of the opposing flow of electrons. The speed of an electron through a conduvtor will always remain the same.

When there is a fracture or breakage in a wire. Also natural causes can slow electricity down, example: snow, water, hurricanes, earthquakes, landslides, and etc.

Your urine goes in a two directionThis is a problem or not?

If it doesn't cause pain or impede flow - that is, block or slow down urination - it's no problem.


What is the ability of substance to slow down the electricity?

The property of a substance enabling it to slow down electricity is called resistance and is measured in ohms. This ability is called electrical resistance. Every substance has this. Gold has the minimum resistance for electricity. Such substance is called electrical conductor. And there are substance where the electrical resistance is affected by heat, light and other conditions. And for those substance where electricity can not flow are called electrical insulators (non-conductors) such as wood and ceramics.


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.


Does static electricity slow a car down?

Yes! Most definitely!


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!


Can a magnet slow down an electric meter?

Yes, definately yes. The Magnet will pull the spinning disk on the electricity meter resulting for that disk to slow down and THE RESULT OF MONTHLY ELECTRICITY BILL will decrease 25%. Just place the magnet on both sides of the Electricity Meter then It will slow down. WARNING: Do not get caught by the Readers or you will busted for jail! WORKS ON ME! :D


Which component slow down the current in circuit?

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