[Electric Boats] Re: wire size - additional quick question

 

Re: wire size

A quick question re wire size, and heating under load that was mentioned
in the current 'wire size' discussion.
If I added a wire wound heavy duty resistor in series with a dc motor to
slow the speed, and made sure it was beefy enough not to heat up, would
it consume any power?
I am thinking of a simple circuit with just the motor, battery, heavy
duty on/off switch, and wire to connect them.
I am thinking that it might, as it will create magnetism.

Thanks,
John
