If the ceiling fan is on slow speed, does it consume less electricity?..

Answer / vicky

No.. The power consumed by the fan in both low n high speed,
remains the same.. bcoz at low speed the current given to the
armature reduced but the reduced current is given to
resistance.. hence the speed reduces but power absorbed
remains constant...
