→ The motor’s speed and torque can be increased or decreased by varying the input current.

→ Since current and resistance are inversely proportional, the current can be increased by decreasing resistance and vice versa.

→ The above diagram shows 4 resistors that can be used or avoided by flicking a switch for each.

→ The more resistors that are switched out of the circuit, the more current flows to the motor and the speed of the motor increases.
