looks like ya better check the battery, must be overcharged
if 'the circuit' is the 3.7ohm resistor, wouldn't the current always be 1.62 amps, so 'drop' 6 volts? isn't the circuit actually 4.6ohms? [.9 + 3.7], making the complete circuit current 1.3amps?
where's the current draw of the motor?
the same as the resistor?
do the same amps create the heat from the resistor and the motion in the motor??
what's the 'equality of currents' in this?
does the measured resistance of the motor take into account the 'non-linear' characteristic in the calculations?
of course we also know that in the real world the "ideal" values necessary for the formulas to be accurate don't exist, but it still appears it's current that makes the world go round, and the theories just let us pick a "looks like" that matches our out-look
I hadn't thought about the current required to move the motor from rest being higher than that needed to maintain a steady speed
but I do make the assumption folks knew that starting a motor is what jumps up the electric bill, not running it
