Dc motor resistance

Kallum1664:
Oh ok, so ohms law is telling me the initial start up current of around 2.5 amps until the motor gets going?

Pretty much - that's more commonly called the stall current.

This as you will also see this current when the motor is stalled - i.e. stopped from rotating while powered. Now you also know why tha's when motors overheat and burn :slight_smile:
